You don't even need to pull the carpet back, there is a grommet up top near the master cylinder, ran my power wire through there. Inside it is up near the brake pedal. Make sure you don't run your power and signal (RCA's) close together or you will sometimes get alternator whine or a constant hiss while the engine is runing. Run a minimum 4 gauge power cable to your amp and fuse within 12 inches of the battery. Use a good circuit breaker or AGC or AGU fuse (the ones in the round clear cylinder) or a MAXI fuse. Don't skimp here because this will save your car from burning to the ground should your main power ever get pinched or shorted. I am using a circuit breaker, since it's easier to push the reset button than to have to go buy another fuse if you don't have a spare on hand.

Ground your amp as close to the amp as possible and to a good solid ground. Do not use an existing factory ground as many of the vehicles electronics share these grounds and cause static and noise.
