1) where does the cable go

Don't drill holes in the car... not needed. Just make an MDF floor to fit in the bottom of the compartment. Then you can screw the brackets to that. The floor should be heavy enough to not going anywhere, but some velcro pads should help.

The cabling (if you're not using CD prep, I know Smiffy's didn't) can be run under the carpet, under the rear quarter panel, along the gap at the top (just pull the panel off slightly to give better access), down the panel on the floor by the front seats, past the fuse box, under the carpet, up behind the black plastic panel and into the stereo.
