Big *** pink 10g wire under the dash/kick panel is a solid source. If you have TCS thats a good one. Or you could you could pull out some wiring diagrams and find one closer.

I ran all my wiring through a hole in the passenger side of the firewall. Take out your computer and you'll see a rubber grommet. Pull that out, drill/cut a hole in the grommet, run your wires through and put the grommet back in. The hole is down there pretty far so you'll have to kinda look for it.
