    There will no doubt be a grommet somewhere in the engine bay that will give access into the cabin, then usually you would run it behind trim and along the door trims under the carpet. but it depends on what gauge wire you are using really, running power cables from the battery to the boot are not for the fainthearted as you will likely be removing a lot of trim to route it.

    And if your thread is not getting any answers as quick as you would like just bump your original thread rather than creating a duplicate post, as some people might post in one and others in the other and it causes moderators work combining them.

    Haha thanks mate, that's spot on, I did the same. took out the glove box and put the power cable though the gromit behind.

    Whole installation took about 2-3 hours

    Amp and sub is sounding good!

    now imagine trying to feed a 0 AWG gauge cable through...yep this is what I plan to do on my car. The current 8 AWG cable is going to be upgraded to run 2 amps.....when I pull my finger out and do it that is!
