Sub install problem

[Guvna!]

I am really struggling to run the 12v power cable from the engine bay to the cabin.

Had a look at the bonnet release cable, it disappears up into my dash. Tried to have a look through the fuse's and can't see where it goes.

In the engine bay it runs behind 2 tanks and some sound proofing then disappears.

How can I find the place it actually goes from the engine bay into the car? Jack the car up?

Cheers.

theres a big grommet between header tank and the power steering resevoir. (behind them) Bugger to get to at tho DONT go through a hole without a grommet and NOT the bonnet catch hole!

No thats bodging!!!

Pull sound deadening back by the power steering resevoir and undo bolts holding header tank to the bulk head and the grommet is behind there.
Leave header tank in tact with all pipes on just unbolt it. (10mm nuts i think) its fiddly but by far the safest. You can drill a hole somewhere but is tricky again cos of all sound deadening
