Hello community, it's been a while since I have done any work on my car and also coincidentally since I posted on this forum so please don't hold it against me!

 

I decided to install a subwoofer with wiring that was provided by my cousin who recently removed it from his car but all is in working order.

 

I managed to run the stereo wires from the loom at the back of my bolero unit along with the power on wire.

 

I then tried to run the power cable from the front battery to the back but I got stuck as I couldn't see any obvious point through the firewall. I had a look online at the golf mk6 models and there was a suggestion the I could remove the battery shelf and pass it through the factory loom entry and it should come out behind the glove box.

 

I stopped at this point as I had plans for the the rest of the day but before I carry on next weekend I just wanted to check if that approach was correct. Any handy tips would also be appreciated.

Remove the battery and behind you will find a huge gromit.

 

This appears behind the glove box but high up so you have to do the pulling into the car by feel. 

 

I have 4 50mm2 cables running though mine so loads of room

Thank you Ryan, I think I read your post on the forum earlier today that you managed to get 4 cables through. I'm going to remove the battery tray as I think it's in the way.

 

I appreciate your quick response on this!
