Lift the carpet in the passenger footwell. You will see a large rubber bung/grommet. Use this area

It is more near under the glove box, but you might still have to take the plastic sill thing off to get better access (e.g. more of the carpet out of the way.

Out of interest, is this amp going to be mounted in the boot? How do you plan on routing the wire down the car?
I ask 'cos I need to do the same pretty soon!

Thanks, T.

pop the hood and look down the back of the engine..... passenger side. there is a hole in the wall there.... force it in there and it will bring it out near the foot well.... pull the carpet back and u will see the hole there on about.... and the wire should be there. a bit tight and even tighter with 2 wires through it but it goes...

cheers ppl, i just had a look this morning and know exactly where its gonna go,
T, yes it is going to be in the boot, i was going to take that inside skirt off, and hopefully it will thread under there nice and hidden, then might take the left rear side panel off and thread it into the boot. i suppose you could follow the original rear speaker wire to the front of the car using it as a guide where to put the red cable
