Check on the firewall ( Drivers side if I remember ) for a rubber grommet without anything going through it. Cut or drill a hole through it and it will seal the cable and protect it from rubbing on metal. You can then hide the wire under the door sill trims and carpet
Hope this helps Steve

You can go through the wheel well if you want, saves drilling holes and rubbish.

I used the hole mentioned above that is pluged by the small rubber plug, saves drilling holes through the fire wall.
If you need a hand getting it all working let me know |

go the garden hose in the hole!! works a treat.
your amp should have an LED indicator. if that on power is fine. check all the connections if they are ok. must be the wiring to the sub
