I tucked mine to the immediate left of the glove box opening. Zip tied it to the support frame right behind the dash.

Where did you take the positive (+) ?

I was thinking on the red wire of the lighter...

I installed mine under the driver seat and also added a external speaker. It works great and you don't lose any space in the glove box.

I installed mine on the inner seat frame rail on the passenger Side. Super easy and the wiring went through the center console.

I ran positive directly to the battery. The positive on the 12v source (the passenger side is always hot) will work as well. There is a collective ground on the right hand side of the passenger footwell. Try to keep the ground wire as short as possible.

Also installed an external speaker (the 75 WX speaker can be a little weak) behind and to the left of the glove box (velcro to the firewall).
