it aint easy if you have the GTP heres what i tried
~a few said there is a rubber opening (for wires) under the passenger flooring under the dash. i tried to put the wire through there but i was running a 2 ga wire so it didnt fit.
~then i tried to just run it from one in the middle of the dash. and it must have been to tight and riped a few wires cause alot of sparks were flying. nothing was ruined thankfuly
~the nest one worked for me and was easiest to get to. right behind the drivers steering wheel under the hood youll notice a bunch of wires going into the car. its right under the master cylinder. you have to either cut a hole in the rubber or go beside it. i didnt want anymore sparks so i went beside it. go inside the car and remove the under panels. theres only 2. you should see the group of wires...a flashlight is required its kind of hidden up inside the dash. i just put a hanger throught the side of the rubbder till my girlfriend =) saw the hanger. she then taped the wire to the hanger reallllllly tightly and i pulled it back through. then just removed the plastic panels holding the carpet down removed the backseat and put it down the middle of that. if i hooked it up to the batter the wire wasnt long enought o stretch so i hooked it up to the fuse relay center just above the battery. the extra foot really helped i have a 4 door 1998 grand prix GTP the gt may have less wiring throught the sytem so the other 2 may work better.
~those are the only ways i know of. good luck heres my cell if you need some talking steps. 815 403 3445

I drilled a hole in the firewall and sealed it with silicone. Then ran all my wiring underneath the carpet straight along the center console. This will require some work though. alot of tugging and pulling. Try with a hanger.
