I ran my power cable from the battery through a rubber cover in the firewall on the driver's side to the amp along the side panels. I ran the rca and remote down the center console. I would just use the remote to turn amp on/off(automatic; and why would you need amp on w/o music?). Also I grounded the amp to a screw under the carpet in the trunk behind the passenger side tail light. Sadly though the amp is wired wrong and it'll be another week until I have it going.
