I am planning to upgrade my stereo with and amp and sub. The first problem I can see (well not see) is how do I get that power cable through the bulk head? I can't see any holes or any space where to run the cable through. Any ideas would be much appreciated. I did have another idea but not to sure if this will work. I recently installed a Pioneer DEH-P77MP, on the ISO connection lead there is a yellow wire which says battery on it , this wire runs straight from the back of the unit to the ISO connection box but it also has a branch/loop/spilt which allows you to I think power something else. Does anyone know if I can use this to power a small amp? This would make life a lot easier.

Mark pic was spot on. Top Man, I'll give it another go.

Cheers once again.

yup, there's a big grommet down there that makes it easy

I unwrapped the tape from an oem grommet and managed to get 4 gauge through there as well. I'll put it in the FAQ - about time I updated that

Cheers,
Nick.

I'm assuming this is a grommet that comes out just behind the top of the pedals? That's about where I sent my power lead through.

Probably teaching grandmother to suck eggs, but don't forget to put an in line fuse on the power lead as close to the battery as possible. Even with my fairly small amp, with 30 Amp rated cable, I wouldn't fancy seeing the results of a short circuit!

Plenty of room for a small 4 channel amp under the drivers seat.
