IMO, through the firewall grommet (behind the battery) Under the passenger side door sill, along the passenger side wall using the existing wire-mounts.

Removing the sill panel, pillar panel and rear speaker panel make things a lot easier. Depending on what gauge wire you a running, you might have to anyway. Also, depends how far back you are running the wire in the trunk as to which panels may need to come off.

Passenger side door pillar has a bolt that serves as a ground. You have to remove the trim panel to access it.
