Default 1997 F150 Firewall

I was trying to figure out were a hole in the firewall was so i could run my power wire through. Any ideas?

Also i have a standard cab, so i was wondering how i could mount the amp to the back of the cab. And how i could run the rca's and remote to the amp.

I couldn't find one on mine. So I drilled a hole just a little bigger than my power wire on the passengerside floorboard/wheel well. And then hid the wire under the plastic wheel gaurd. Ran all my wires under the carpet. Can take some pictures if you would like.
