down the passenger side.

Pull up the carpet sills and lift the carpet up slightly

Look in the engine bay for any grommet holes. Feed the wire in  it and then locate it in the car.

Best advice I could offer is to take your time or you will start to break things, be prepared to spend a whole day on it, its best to get it right the first time then you wont have to do it again.  It might be worth buying two or three RCA's and putting them in at the same time then you wont have to worry about pulling you car to bits again.

take out your seats. it makes pulling the carpet up and laying the cable perfect first time. :)
