I unbolted my pcm and moved it out of the way a little to get to the rubber grommet. Then removed the passenger side interior panels and ran the cable under the carpet.

Same deal here. Ran large gauge welding cable, stuff works great as a power lead fwiw.

when i run my stereo to keep interference down i run my ground on the passanger side and bolt it there. then i run my RCA down the center console up over the rear seat under the carpet then run the power on the driver side under carpet to the remote battery terminal by the fuse box. it will run in thru a groumt on the fire wall and there you go a nice easy clean install and all your wires are away from each other so no need to worry about interference or distortion caused by wires
