Default Help with installing an amplifier for my TC

I'm trying to install an amplifier into my TC but I don't know where to run the power cable from the battery to the amp. Is there a place I can sneak the cable through from the engine, hood area, or would it be better to drill a hole? If I can get the cable inside where the passengers sit, I should be ok. I'm a total noob to this but I think it shouldn't be too difficult to do on my own.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Scion100, last week I installed a 2 & 4 channel amp. I have a hole drilled in my firewall on the driver's side. I gutted the entire car to run the power wire on the driver side to the trunk. I ran the speaker wires and RCA cables on the passanger side for the interior speakers.

Good luck

poke the power wire through the main harness grommet going through the firewall and make sure you run the power wire and rca cables in opposite sides or you will get ground noise.
