If your car doesn't have an ECU then there will be a blanking plate in it's place. In the bulk-head towards the back right of the engine bay, unscrew part of it and feed the cable down.

Alternatively, run it along the bulkhead to the drivers side where you'll find a large rubber grommet where all the engine wires go through into the car.

As for earthing it, my amp's in the boot so just gets earthed on the default spot with the rear lights.
