Power wire for amp, cant find grommet

[kerry-w]

As per title, looked all around the passenger side and its no where to be seen :S

Pulled up the carpet and still not able to find it, I remember finding it on the last clio but cant for the life of me remember where.

Ideas please?

Its in the passenger footwell, quite high up, behind the gear box somewhere. Well the one I used was.

 

[kerry-w]

Ohh its on the right side ish then, ill take another look for it tomorrow, it is that hard to get the wire through and up to the battery from there?

 

[Dink]

the one i used you could only see if you had your head in the footwell looking up, you could probably see it if you took the passenger air vent out so to speak

 

[Beef-Mc]

Not just use the hole the bonnet release cable uses?

Too much hassle taking the vents out etc, their smashed enough as it is so I dont want to mess about with them much more tbh.

Wheres that? I tried looking behind it and removed the plastic cover going under the door frame to try get a better look but couldnt find it.

 

[Dink]

you don't have to take the vent out it just gives you an idea where the grommet is

Oh right, yeah I get what you mean now

Was too cold today to make a start, will do it some other time :rasp:

Wheres the best place to stick the ground cable to?

i just drilled a hole behind the glove box, smoothed it, painted it and bunged a grommet in there. 0awg cable went straight through.

 

[cliosporty]

before people start questioning about wire u gonna run 0awg cable etc.. i need it due to my amp has a higher fuse ratimng than the wire can cope hence why i have to upgrade from 4awg to 0awg power wire.

iam having a bit of trouble running a 0awg wire through i have clio mk 2 172 and any one have any good ideas where i can run it, i had a look under passenger side glove box only can see bonnet relase grommit which has a very small hole to let the bonnet relase wire only not big enough also where there are wires on right side under the dash there grommits are same to tight and tbh not gonna mess around with them. so only option i got now is to drill hole through firewall but where exacty, prevoius owner drilled a 4awg hole but to do a 0awg it may catch the pipes as i have touse a bigger drill bit like 20mm etc.. any one good any pictures how they did it?

Put a screw driver through the bonnet release grommet from te engine bay to inside then tape your wire round the screw driver get someone to pull the screwdriver through whilst you push the wire it will make its own hole and be 100% sealed

Will a screwdriver fit through the tight bonnet release grommit. When touched it feels very stiff. Or do have to use a bit of brute force and try to open up. Good idea chapstars5 I will try and did ur 0awg fit?

 

[Chapster5]

Make a new hole mate, dont squeeze it through the original. I didnt run 0awg wire as I dont actually know what it is but I did get 6mm thick stranded wire through it with brute force and ignorance.

[cliosporty]

u mean make a new hole in the existing bonnet release grommit??

 

[Chapster5]

Yup thats the one matey

 

[cliosporty]

thanks

 

[kerry-w]

In the end I got a new hole drilled through and sealed up if that helps at all.
