Default Ignition Wire within the cabin of the car

Does anyone know of a good place to tap into the ignition/acc wire within the cabin of the car?

ive searched, and looked under the kick panel but would like someplace where i can mount a few large gauge wires without having it look sloppy or hanging down...

ICE guys?

thanks for the help

what are you trying to connect and how much current draw are you expecting?

I dont think any wire down there would be big enough to run a compressor. Or you may get away with a relay.

run the power wire to the battery and turn it on via an accessory wire in the ignition harness.

There is a pretty think black/white wire that comes out of the ignition right beside the steering wheel column. Just T-tap into that and zip tie it to the harness so it doesnt look like slop.
