and buy some cable ties, little metal beams/tubes under the dash plastic are almost designed for tying fat audio cables to

Good good, I have my passenger side trim up and out.
Is the gommit under the glove box easy to get to ? or do you have to remove any bits of dash ?

Is also a big grommet on the other side so if all else fails try there

Yeah, the one by the fuse box ?.
The reason I was looking for an alternative from that one is because I put the amp on the left hand side of the boot (because of my split seats) and the battery is in the left hand side of the engine bay. Save cable :-).

I used the grommet just at the top of the glovebox and silicone'd it up again cos thats where the scuttle panel drains to. It comes out where the washer bottle is and just sits over the bulkhead and goes straight to the battery. Looks fairly tidy, but was the easiest location i could find. I hid the cable under the scuttle so that it didn't get wet.
