Through the bulkhead, drivers side, down the sil of the car and through any random number of holes under the rear seats or seat backs. Piece of cake mate

theres a hole in the bulkhead with a big rubber gromet that goes under the dash on the drives side.

Poke the amp power(red) wire through the middle of the gromet from the engine bay, keep poking till it wont go any further. Then look under the steering wheel to see the cable and pull through what you need. Then run it behind the speaker housing in the foot well and down the drivers side between the carpet and the sill. under the back set and though a hole thats already into the boot.
