Theres a couple, easiest to see from the engine side, big round plastic blanks, the most useful one going through to the top of the passengers footwell. I just put a screwdriver through it to make a hole, as didn't want a huge gaping hole with just a wire going through, then pushed the wire through with the screwdriver as you have to get it through a bit of soundproofing and stuff.

did the same as above. After i got the screwdriver through i poked some small speaker wire through. Then tied it to the 4 gauge cable and pulled like mad lmao.. It went through eventually but had to double thespeaker wire up as it kept snapping..

Attaching a metal coathanger is probably a better idea though   :grin:
