yeah I just wired up mine and used that spot. Make sure you run your power cable on one side and audio rca cables on the other so you don't get alternator whine and all kinds of other noise. This is true on any vehicle.

there is a grommet on the passenger side, just above the stater on the fire wall. remove it, drill a hole (or cut a slit) in it, fish the power cable through (inside it will be just left of the HVAC unit) re install the grommet. clean.

im confused i was always under the impression that this so called "alternator" wine was actually coming from the spark plug wires? anyone know what actually causes the interference

alternator whine is usually caused by poorly insulated wires and or bad grounds. I used to do installs as a side business years ago. Most of the work I got was fixing other peoples screwups. In almost every case it was bad grounds, shoddy crimp or solder work, or crappy components. In rare occassions it was a faulty voltage regulator on the alternator.
