Looking at installing an amp in my vert, just wondering the easiest way to run a power cable to the battery?

there are a few holes in the firewall located above the clutch pedal that are used for vacuum hoses.... that's where i ran my amp cable. its kinda of a pain, i had to take off the front speaker grill so i could look down through the windshield and see the mess down there..

I was trying to run it down the passenger side of the car so that I can run sraight to the battery without any bends and twist in it! But I can not get the passenge lower dash off and it is not in the bentley manual! Thanks for the help! I think I will end up doing that as long as I can get at it!

The lower facia is 1 unit, you need to remove the centre consol, along with the 3 bolts that holds the rest...

Where did you put the amp?
I was thinking of placing one under my passenger front seat.

The amp was just for the sub, so screwed it into the sub box! I was originally thinking of putting it under the back seat! I just bought a cheap sub and amp for the time being, will eventually get an amp for the front speakers and rear. That will probably have to go under the front seat!
