Ford F150 2018 wiring install question

Hello,
Wanted to ask what others have found as the ideal location for running wiring into the cab on the 2017, 2018 model F150s. Transitioning to probably a 2018 F150 and have a HHS2200 Whelen unit I'd be bringing over to use in this vehicle. I'm guessing it would secure nicely in back of the rear seats, but obviously running wires to it will require some kind of access to outside the cab and to the engine compartment and towards the rear for directional bar and lightbar.
Hoping to get some insight on what others have seen on this or similar truck setups.

Thanks

Did you ever complete your build? I am planning on working on mine this weekend. With the same truck and same siren I am very curious. TIA

I will try to take pictures next week of an install but in short we made an aluminum board to fit under the driver side rear seat and most of the wires were ran under the truck and came in the cab through a weahter pack grommet
