I ran my power wire to the fuse box on the drivers side of the dash. I used a piggy back fuse (available at radio shack or most any other electronics shops) and used the cigarette lighter fuse. As far as mounting the box, I cut the carpet on 3 sides creating a flap and mounted it to the bare metal. I rau the mic cord to the center console and then forward (cord is plenty long) to the dash. Position the box with the antanaue connection up and forward. This way attachment/removal of ant. is easily done by reaching under the seat from the front. If you have any other questions throw them out there.
