Anyone else have any other ideas or more detail on doing this?

I need to drill a hole or find a hole for my amplifier's power cable, and I cant find ANY breathing room. And its always a bad idea to start drilling blindly

there's enuff space there to put wires thru for ur amp

i put my power wire through a hole already in the firewall near near the master cylinder. inside it comes in back above the pedals. idk if everyone has that hole or if it was made by a previous owner of my car.

The speedo cable hole/boot/gromet was what I was going to suggest. The whole itself is plenty big for more cable. You may be able to squeeze your power cable along side the speedo cable current hole in the boot/gromet. If you can avoid taking that boot/gromet out do it...real pain in the butt to get back in properly. I would also feed your power wire (tape about a 3 inch stiff something to poke through)...feed from the outside (engine bay) in...then contort your body like some yoga dude under the dash and pedals, find it and pull. Good luck.
