Yeah, i've checked the passenger side. However, underneath the passenger side dash there is so much electrical stuff, i'm afriad to start drilling. I didnt thoroughly check though, i'll have to have another detailed look. I'll have to search for a spot where there's no wires, and make sure i'm not drilling into anything important in the engine compartment. Thanks for the tip though
, appreciated.

As for the firewall, in many GM cars you have to drill your own hole.

Okay, i drilled a small hole on the passenger side about 8" down (pulled up the carpet etc.) and then i took a metal clothes hanger and un-bent it so i could stick it in the hole to see where it came out in the engine compartment. I couldnt see it anywhere
..so then i went back to the driver side and did the same thing - i cant seem to figure out why i can stick a 3' clothes hanger through the hole and then not be able to see it on the other side.
Also, i found where the hood release cable goes through the fire wall, and there is about a 1.5" grommet/hole, but i cant figure out how to get my power cable through the grommet. its plugged and i dont want to start cutting away at it, or i'll wreck something....you're all probably laughing at me, but i cant do it...

okay i drilled a hole and got the wire through fine. everything's wired up and it all sounds good. thanks to everyone for all your help. also, i found out why my battery keeps dying, i think its because i turn the key backwards and let the stereo play, which drains the battery pretty quick, OR the battery is just a piece of sh*t and i need to buy a new one...
