Amp power cable

[MK3]

How do i get it inside the car from the engine bay? I've read through god knows how many threads, and looked at the guide on here, but can't seem to find an answer. I've heard people struggle fitting 4awg through the grommit behind the glove box and i have 2awg cable. Are there any other options? Or am i just going to have to drill a new hole? Thanks

The bonnet release gromet mate, in the passenger footwell basically.

Best advice is either drill a new hole in the gromit or try and force a screwdriver through the gromit then thread some small gauge wire through from INSIDE the car to the engine bay, then tie this round the amp wire and pull back through to the inside of the car..

Ooops, i thats the grommet i was talking about. I havn't seen it myself, but i'm going to take a guess and say this cable isn't going to fit through.

Thanks mate, as i said i havn't had chance to have a proper look at it yet. I'll have a look in the morning and see what can be done.

If it comes to it, does anybody know if there is there space behind the glove box to just drill a new hole and put a grommet in? Sounds like alot less hassle.

I managed to fit 4AWG through the bonnet release grommit but it was seriously tight.

No chance fitting 2AWG - just drill a new hole

Just drill a new hole in the passenger footwell if its not gonna fit, no need to try and get behind the glove box, you can get a new grommit in there easy then.

I'm not really bothered where the new hole will be. Was just thinking that behind the glove box would be a bit higher up, making it easier to get to from the engine bay
