Best place to run amp power wire??

I have a 2004 Maxima, and I'm trying to put my system back into the car, but I can't find a good spot to run the power wire. There seems to be a spot on the passenger side, but then I have to run the power wire all the way around the back of the engine block.

I remember there were some pictures here before the forum crashed. So does anyone have any suggestions? Pictures would be extra helpful

Thanks,

Ming

If you have an auto, there's a spot where the clutch pedal would be on the drivers side. If you look up, it's a diamond shaped cutout in the black padding stuff, drill a hole thru the center of this diamond and you're in the clear. Plenty of room in the engine bay too.

If you have amps you can just soider rca cables to the radio output and run them to the amp but you have to do that at the head unit.

And for the wiring find a bare spor on both side take a punch make an indent then drill and use gromet.
