V-Dub Folks: 1/0 Through Firewall HELP>>

[Arawak420 10+ year member]

is there a particulair place to run this size of wire or any size of wire through the firewall mainly on the driver side?

if not where is the sweet spot to drill? i had the heater core replaced last year and dont want to drill a hole through something. i need to know the right spot.

about how much did you use to get to the back seat, actually under the back seat?

i notice under the backseat there is some pretty descent size bolts for grounding i.e. seatbelt bolts. are these good spots to ground the amps.

i notice there is plenty of other electrical wiring in there. will this cause any connection/disturbance to the clarity of the amps? i plan on putting my grounds and left over rca cables in there.

im pretty sure that the all models above 95 have the backseat that lifts up to make the trunk or wagon bigger.

with my 94 jetta there was a little hole with a rubber stopper in it near the underside of the steering colum. just get in there on your back witha flashlight and look around until you find what you need.

There's a forum called vwvortex.com, there's like a million people on that forum, i'm sure they know what you're looking for.

That's what I did for my ex's '01. I hated working on that thing, way too small...and I'm a small guy to begin with. I just said "**** it" and went through the steering column grommet. But then again, I was only working with 4awg...
