    I don't have a picture but towards the bottom, below where the floorboard would hide the wires.

    I have the wires coming out of my sticks just above the stub that they mount to, which is just below the wood boards. I drilled the holes on the inboard side of each stick and used a very small rubber grommet in the hole to protect the wiring.

    I also put in quick disconnect plugs in case I wanted to remove the sticks, which only takes about 2 minutes. I have taken them out several times.
