Any suggestions on the best way to power the High Power Astro Spectra? I would like to go directly to the battery. Is there a simple way to get there?

I have a 2001 that is more or less the same body. There is not alot of room, but you can go through the firewall on the passenger side straigh to the battery> look under the heater core behind the mat

I have a 96 as well. I made a hole next to the hood release cable and ran everything down the driver side. Im in Salinas every few months and would be happy to show you.
antennas require holes anything else ruins performance and looks lame

Got it handled, but thank you. Feel free to look me up when you are in town though.
