Hi, everyone, n00b question. While I've done amp installs before, it's generally been on some large American cars, and it was fairly easy to find some room to pass some cabling through. I'm redoing the audio on my 2002 Audi TT 225 Roadster. I've been trying to find the right place to pass a 4ga power cable through the firewall, and found the instructions on the Waks Wide Web, but I can't seem to find the spot on the inside of the vehicle. I'm aware that Waks is a RHD UK TT, so I've been looking on the driver's side. Above the dead pedal is a lot of white covering, and while I see a large loom heading into the firewall, I can't seem to find room for 4ga of wire.

I'm sure many of you have done this install. Could anyone do me the service of telling me where to put this thing like I'm an idiot, or provide some picture of their install?

Much appreciated.

 

Just so I'm not leaving a dead thread, I found a place to run it. Above the gas pedal, about 6 inches, is a dime to nickel size grommet. Punch that through, send a wire hanger through, and it'll pop out just to the right of the heat shield behind the right hand side of the engine (your right). If it pops through the shielding, just push it back and pull it out the right hand side. Tape that cable to the hanger, and pull the hanger back through the hole. Don't forget to seal that hole and protect from the wet.

In the picture, the blue wire is my amp wire. You'll see the gas pedal at the bottom, and the amount of extra room. This is a 4 gauge wire, so a 0 should fit as well.
