Naw, not under the car.  Through the firewall.  Don't give up on that most basic of install principles.  You can find a place to drill through.

After that, you need to find out how to pull the radio.  Wire colors don't mean anything when you are looking at 40 wires under a moulding strip.

If you are using a LOC or the hign level input on your amp, I suggest tapping at the front speaker locations.  That entails that you remove the door panels to gain access to the speakers.  Run new speaker wire, twisted (see links), back to the area of the amplifier and mount the LOC there (or wire directly to the hi level input plug on the amp).

Depending on your setup plan, you might use the rear speaker locations instead.

Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.
