If you don't have experience with this stuff, then I suggest having it professionally installed.  They will know how to run the wires cleanly, as well as properly get through the firewall.  And if it is a reputable shop the results will be a very clean install.

You can run your amp power cable from the battery through the firewall and under the side panel/carpet on the passenger side.. then from there run it underneath the carpet to the underside of your seat.... hope this helps.

Oops.. didn't see that you wanted under the driver side rear seat. If that's the case.. just run it under the panel/carpet on the driver's side all the way to the rear seat then underneath the carpet..

Odds are you will have to make one. Best bet is to look up at the firewall from the drivers side inside the truck and see if there are any openings that have some kind of plug or cap. If not, you will have to drill a hole to make one, but you have to make sure there is nothing on either side of the firewall that would be hit by drilling there. This is what I did in my vehicle. I just inspected the firewall from inside the vehicle and under the hood, I had an empty space close to where a large wiring harness went through the firewall and put mine there. You will want to get a rubber grommet that will fit your wire and drill the hole size accordingly. Then just run your wire through. Hint, pulling wire through tight places like that, works better with two people.
