Stilo abarth amp wiring
What sixe cabling are you pting through, I had to drill through the plastic grommet type thing that the pedal cables go through. There is a pic around here somewhere but i will take another one for you in the morning and post it up.
4 guage but i could just use 8 i suppose
4 Gauge will always be better so yeah i will post a pic of where to go through tomo. I have put O gauge through there so should be easy.
I dont think there is a gromet directly behind the glove box if there is then i would have made the decision not to get to it due to too much crap geting in the way. I did have to take the whole glove compartment (upper and lower) to find the part that i drilled through but you could probably get away with drilling it from the outside and just removing the centre console side panel. That just come off with a couple of hex screws.
anyone any more help im still clueless ??

what model stilo you got mate cant see that hole?
Its a 1.6 but they should all have that im sure it is where the cables for the pedals go through unless it was different on the phase 1's. There is not a hole there i had to drill it. If in doubt post a few pics up, pics talk a thousand words or whatever the saying is.
il try and get pics up i just cant believe nobody with an abarth hasnt done this before :S
They have and most of them have been done the same way.

Need to be creative then dont you 
Hole will be in the same place so just gotta work out how to get to it
Hole will be in the same place so just gotta work out how to get to it yeh true , looks like drilling a hole is the only option but just gotta be so careful with these things , trying to find out if there was an easyish bit to get to
Im pretty sure that is the best place in the stilo. I will go and have a check in a bit. The only suggestion that i have is to take out both glove compartments and the side vents for the centre console locate the piece of plastic and drill from the inside. :bang: Then you will see where the wire come out when you poke it through.
