Alright mate i have wired a 0gauge cable into my mk4 :laugh: if you stand at the front of your car and look behind the battary there should be a long black plastic cover going up to the scuttle pannel under the air box,open this it will be full of wires,and put your amp cable in then put the cable round the pollen filter BUT DO NOT REMOVE OR KNOCK THE FILTER!!this could result in a water leak :cry:there is a gromet some where neer to the filter on the bulk head,pirce it and feed your wire through(you will have to remove the glove box)then just run the cable to the rear of your car.Hope this helps.
