You should have at least a couple spots (not sure on the exact vehicle) with wires already going through it, and often times there is enough room for you to fit an additional wire through easily enough. (Normally will be going through a rubber stopper thing..kind of like a grommet.)

Have you checked underneath your truck to see if you have any plainly visible? Or a lot of times it'll be behind the glove box, if you remove it, you'll see where wires come through.

Again not sure on your exact vehicle..but just try following some of hte wiring from your engine and see if there's room to squeeze an extra wire through where they go through.

Ok, i thought it was somehthing wrong with my amp, so i went out and bought a brand new kenwood kac-7202 amp. everything is pluged up correctly, but im not getting any power to the amp. no fuses were blown. So i think my old amp still works.This is what happen it was working fine untill one day my father was fixing the heat...putting like a new belt of it or somthing, then it wasn't working. Could he have screwed up something like the batt or ground wire. btw i have a 1993 buick roadmaster. plz help me

yes, and should be hooked up behind the radio, or in the fuse panel(switched power), use a test light to see if it has power, normally the blue wire.
