on the right side of your hood in the back behind the battery there is a hole, u put it through there and then it ends up being behind your fender where your right front wheel is, then open your driver seat there and stick it in, and open all of floor panel that is at the edge of your car when u open ur door and stick it all through there and continue to the back till u get to the trunk, then of course screw back on all ur floor panels and thats that, wont be a trace of a system, holla back at me if u need help, if u live in nyc ill help ya lata

hole I drilled in the firewall for the cable. wouldn't fit anywhere else

run it right next to the stock harness. you can simply pull the factory zip ties loose and strap it in there.

you should also run a ground right off of the battery. there is real bad distortion on some amps when you ground to the frame. it's kind of weird.
