sit in the pass front seat. where your left foot sits, right above that, rught under the edgeof the carpet is a grommet that the anenna wire goes through. you can fit 2 1/0 gauge wires through that hole.

You can just stick a screwdriver through that grommet too that way you still have a seal there. Don't completley take off the grommet from the antenna cable. Stick it about 3 ft through and you should see it dangling down through the firewall.

there are a few different places, but that one is the most convenient, because it is a straight shot from the battery and uses the least amount of cable.(esp useful when the wire you are using can cost as much as $4 bucks a foot or more)

ditto to hillbilly. plus the less wire you use the more voltage and current you can get to your amplifier. Which in english means more output. You said you were using 10ga. i would step up to at least 8ga. It will give you a couple more dB.
