I took the power inthrough the ECU box, and straight down to the floor. routed it aside of the drivers seat, under the molding. From there it goes along the bottom of the back seat, then up along the side of the back seat into where the stock amp is. No drilling, super easy.

Go to the Tech forum for the pin out diagram of the in trunk connectors.

The reason I like this way is that the power connection drops right over the kick panel, so you are right where you run it to the back anyway. I did not run it through he ECU box as some ppl reported weird ECU issues with the power wire near the ECU. I did not know about the triangular grommet until I tore my car apart, I forgot about that...
