Can't remember how long ago it was but if you search here on the site, there is a picture of the best place to run the wiring.

I can't really explain it without pics.

personally i don't like to run wires up where the hood joint/hinge is at because it's more prone to wear and possibly getting damaged. It's worth a little extra time and patience to run the wire through the firewall by drilling a hole, you can drill a hole just to the left of where the steering wheel stuff goes through the firewall and gets protected by a plastic object. you can drill right on the rim of it or right next to it and you should be fine, a grommet is probably a good thing to use too but i didn't. and you should run the power wire on one side of the car and the rca's on the other side so taht no noise is induced into the system. my power wire is on the right with the remote turn on wire while my 2 sets of rca's run on the right side. i just pulled up the trim and stuck them in the carpet. can't tell there there. good luck with your install,

cool...thanks!!!!

and another question i have is where do i run the speaker cable from the amp under my passenger seat to my subs in the hatch area????

 

[sa_pyro_ne]

you can probably run them with the rca's and not have any problem since the speaker wires don't have alot of current going through them to induce noise in the rcas.
