For those with 9n(3)s who have amplifiers...

[K.I.T.T.]

May be a silly question that's been answered before but I couldn't find any threads, so here goes...

Is there a grommet in the firewall through which you can pass power cables through? Where abouts is it? Pics would help if possible

And I'm assuming you used a rear seatbelt mount as an earth point? Although I did see an earth point under the bonnet near the battery as well...just makes cabling longer.

Many thanks!

Yeh rear seatbelt bolts are a good ground source.

They is definitely a grommet somewhere mate, I wouldn't know on a 9N3 though sorry!

Bit hard to explain but it's kind of inline between the engine and the battery and quite low down.

Your other option is to take it through the 2 grommets higher up in the engine bay (opposite side to where the bonnet release cable comes through). This is what I have done to run a larger cable.

To do this you need to remove both windscreen wipers and the plastic tray that runs along the width of the engine bay.(the prpoer name for it escapes me)

Thanks mate, found it (the one below the glove compartment) now

Although it looks quite small and I'd like to use 4 gauge cable. The method you described above, removing the wipers and scuttle tray...where does the wire come out inside the car? Hopefully you don't need to remove the dash?

Many thanks,

No you don't need to remove the dash. Be prepared to squeeze your hand up behind the dash and just grope around a bit behind the sound deadening a bit .

Be careful there are sharp parts behind the dash which i scratched my hands on a lot when trying to find the cable. Just where some rubber gloves to protect your hand/s.

OK, thanks a lot mate....much appreciated. Was gonna try and do it before I head back to uni but it's too much effort right now and I should be revising

Roll on this summer

Once again, cheers!
