o.k i need to get the live wire through to set up my sound system
i was jus wondering how you guys put yours though as there doesnt seem any obvious holes to jus thread it through
did you have to drill a hole? im hoping i dont have to do this

Theres usually a rubber gromit that u can remove or cut through to push it through on the passenger side bulkhead...if you have the passenger airbag it can perhaps be a little bit of a game but stil not impossible.
What model car do you have...and engine size....8v mk3 and to a degree 16v are fairly simple as there is room to play with..the VR6 engines can be a lil bit more trickey but again..not impossible..jus takes a lil more time n patience realy!few threads on here somewhere that states where others have routed theres so mite b worth lookin them up in this audio section!

you can use the factory casing from the battery up to where the pollen filter is. on the top left, behind the pollen filter, as you look at it is a rubber gromit you can use. prepare for skinned nuckles at this point. you have to unscrew the plastic thingy to gain access to where the filter is. This takes the cable into passenger footwell. makes like easier if you remove the glove box too.

linz this is the biggest pain in the asre i have ever had just behind the battery there is a grommet u can use i found it by chance after an hour of ponderin wether to get the drill out lol
if not u can go thru the wirin housin under the wiper motor but if u goin to do it that way if u want a boost gauge do it at the same time as u have to take the wpiers off and the plastic trim under neath also wiper motor has to cme out what a mission lol good luck hope that helps
