If you look behing the TB (throttle body) there's a black plug you can remove and run your power wire through there. Watch how you run the wire though to make sure it doesn't sit on anything hot.

Your best spot though is beside the brake master cylinder. Although, you said you didn't want to drill which would require you to do so. GL

I know I have seen pics of this somewhere, because it's how I did it. You have to take the plastic wheel well cover off on the driver's side and poke a hole in the rubber grommet with something very sharp and long. Then you have to remove the driver's side kick panel and pull the carpet down there so you can pull the wire through. Kinda tough but it can be done.

man just reading the thing make me want to sell the amp and subs i bought and just forget about it. i should have bought the 02 accord like my mom told me to i've done on one of my friends car and it was real easy i could have done it with my eyes closed. guess i'll take another look with my dad he may have some good ideas. the reason i don't want to drill a hole is because theres so may wires and other things running both side of the firewall i'm scared i might break something

Found it. The pic is not real good but there is NO DRILLING required. Take the plastic wheel well cover loose, I don't think I took mine off completely. You will probably need a fish tape or at least a wire coat hanger to fish it through. It is easily the best way to get it through the wall. Something long and sharp ( think I attached a razor blade to a screwdriver to reach up into the grommet that has NO WIRES in it and poke a decent size hole for your cable. It took me longer to find something to poke a hole then it did to get the wire through to the other side. You can do it!

Just a side note: I used a Scosche wiring kit (I know Wal-mart special) that came with a 100A fuse which I pull anytime I need to work on my car stereo. It is very convenient as opposed to removing the wire from the battery terminals.

I run mine to the fuse box. Pop the fuse out install wire to in one leg of the fuse pop back in. Used the 15A Cig Lighter fuse. Comes on when car is started.
