do you mean for an Amp ect...the only entry point without drilling through the bulk head is a rubber grommet above the accelerator pedal...looking from under the bonnet ,its on the left hand side of the brake servo...i used this grommet to push through my boost gauge vac pipe..look at the bottom pic of this link and you will see where it is..hope this helps..Sterl

its there mate because thats where i put my power cable through it can be quite awkward but you will find it mate

its to the left of the brake servo ..looking from font of car..depending on age of car you might have a accelerator cable coming through it too...also there is one that lets the bonnet cable through from cabin to engine compartment..

cant see it at all fella. even tried running it alongside the bonnet cable but not enough room to get my hands near it. if all else fails, resort to the hammer methinks!!

another method it too run it under zaf floor and come through a gromet near rear bumper /REAR seats..

havent got any axle stands or anything so wont risk that one but thanks anyways lol did you push the wire through the grommet near the brake servo with a screwdriver or something then?
also, is there a way to remove the cover by the grommet by the brake pedal at all? again it stops me getting my hand in there

the plastic trim unscrews (2 screw) by centre consol and has 2 plastic clips that pull out above pedals..to expose the grommet from inside the car.....yes i pushed the grommet out , made a hole in it with a drill bit then slide it over (in my case a boost gauge pipe and a air/fuel gauge supply wire) then fed the pipe through the hole and then pressed the grommet back in with a long thin screwdriver using the handle end ..

Had another look and the only thing mine has got there is a gaiter with a piston type mechanism in it for the pedal, so Im gonna give it a miss before I smash the s+@t into it lol Patience of satan me!!

i can be like that mate . but did find where sterl is on about if you follow the bonnet cable round it will go out of sight right into the back behind the wheel arch area i couldnt see it without removeing the air flow meter and pipe then with a torch i could just see it but better to follow with your hand . found the small gramet in the bulk head pulled it out and after a few chouce words etc got the cable through into the foot well .
