I ran mine from the battery down the passenger side to the firewall, then ran it through the grommet on the drivers side of the firewall underneath the MAP sensor. It wont want to fit through the hole, so i recommend you take a knife and make a little slit in it so that way your amp wire isnt bundled up against the stock harness. Once you get through the firewall, run the wire over some of the stock wiring to hold it up over your feet (but dont get it too tight right here, dont want to cause a broken connection). Now pop loose the bottom trim on each door jam and run the wire underneath those panels (once again, theres a place for a harness there already so you can actually just stuff the wire under the panels until they stay if you prefer).

Theres a place or two on the passenger side of the firewall that you might be able to run the wire through if you prefer.

I ran 0 gauge and a 4gauge through the hole just above gas pedal. Kinda hard the access. I then ran both behind the carpet next to fuse block. Pulled up passenger side trim, ran along that to under the back seat. Drilled a hole, popped wires, rca's, and speaker wire through it.
