I've a 2007 Coupe and ran into the same problem. After about an hour of hanging upside down under the dash and playing around in the wheel well I found the path. If you're looking up under the dash follow the hood release cable and there's a plug back there hidden. The one I'm talking about is JUST a plug (there's another one which Im GUESSING is the outside temperature guage). Feed the cable through the hole just slightly, then pull back the inside of the wheel well and look back towards the cabin and up, the cable wont be directly visible, but in the top inside of the fender back by the firewall you can reach up and around the top metal piece and it will be laying there. You have to feed it back towards the firewall and pull it down into the opened wheel well area. Its hard to explain and took forever for me to figure out where the cable was going when I fed it through the hole.
From here you want to open the hood and remove the plastic piece along the top of the fender inside the engine bay (behind the battery). Once removed you should be able to feed the cable up from in the wheel well to the battery.
I can try to take some photos of if later if this is still too vague if you need.
The part I had the hard time with was removing the center console. I couldnt get the whole console un-attached to run it under the carpet so in the back its running out from under the console, under the floor mat and visible from the floor to the bottom of the back seat in the center (could only get the top part of half of the console off).
Given the cones on my woofers wore out (they're old, the foam surrounds broke pretty quickly since they'd been sitting for a while from my old car), I may get in there and try to fix the wire running through the console and under the carpet when I buy some new woofers.
