V70 Ph1: Running a power lead for an amplifier

Hi all, I'm about to put a set of subwoofers in the boot of my V70 and I'm wondering if anybody knows a good route for the power lead through the bulk head? I've looked from the engine side but can't see any existing bungs or wiring looms to follow. Can anyone shed any light if there is a good route that's already in place?

it'll be the same as an 850, the best one i found was under the brake servo. Leads to under the glovebox

My brake servo is on the drivers side of the car though, I may have to have a look around under the glove box though thanks for that

What subs did you go for in the end?

Ah got ya thanks mate, Martin I'm going for the twin pre amped 12" Fli subs. They're the best fit and colour matches my boot carpet a little better than the black vibe ones. Have you had any thoughts on what you're going to do mate?

my interior's stripped, but you can get a bit of a judgement where it is from this pic Image

Nice one thanks for that mate, I wonder if I can access that bung by just removing the glovebox?

There should be some spare conduits that go through the bulkhead. They have rubber caps on the end with multiple cable glands. There should be spare ones both sides of the car. They then drop down into the depths of the footwell. Image I used one of these on the near side to route my amp power cable then down the side of the footwell into some trunking which runs cables to the back of the car along the door sills (under the plastic strips by the carpet) Hope this helps
