Yeah, running it there causes it to get pinched...at least thats how it looks in the pic. As far as the cable being jacked, I dont think so, you just need to cut it, try to solder the wire and get a new connector.

When you are facing the front of your car with the hood (bonnet, right?) up, on the right side of the firewall you will see a black rubber grommet with a wiring harness going through it. (I can see it in one of the photos you posted) Run your amp power cable through that grommet - you'll have to kind of wiggle it in there, but once you get it through it should pass through rather easily. Feed as much of it in there as you can without actually losing the end you're holding of course... and then go to the inside of your car and look around for the wire. On US cars, the wire would come through right below our steering column, but since your steering column is on the wrong side it'll probably be somewhere beneath your glove box. I assume your battery is located on the right hand (your passenger side) of your engine bay as well? This should give you a pretty straight line from the battery to the entry point on the firewall.

Dude, you realy just gotta figure it out. That's EXACALY what a shop is going to do, they'll just figure it out

now if you want to deal with the hassle, then from your battary, you can follow some black lines into the fender, (remove the fender) and run them back into the cab. This is a massive PITA, but if you cant figure out anything else, it's pretty sure-fire. (it'll just take a while )

But i reccomend getting under that glove box, and reaching for that wire. It's where mine is wired thru. Right on the firewall, it's the best place to run it IMO. But IDK if you gotta drop the glove box or what, you'll have to figure that out on your own. Just remember where all your screws go.

I didn't. I ran threw a hole in the driver side fire wall. Right next to the steering column.

EDIT: oh nevermind, you're UK, you cab is mirrored. My fault.

IDK if you'll have to remove it or not. You'll have to ask some UK guys.

A toggle switch, so that you maintain manuel control over you amp. And yeah, it all comes off pretty easy. Just drop that panel under you steering wheel.

I believe its a total of 4 philips and 4 10mm bolts, and 2 "clips" that just click in and out of place. Easy easy.

And the blue wire off of a head-unit is normally to a power antenna, witch will not give you the power to turn on your amp. Just FYI.

Run a wire from your head units ACC (red usualy) thru a toggle on your dash and then run it under the carpet/back seats to the trunk/ "boot"

lol, the Boot

Sorry, i've never heard it referred to a boot before, but it does make sense. lol.

the boot is what us americans call the trunk of the car. I thought that there was something in the stickies about an amp install but I couldn't really find anything. I think most people run it through the firewall by either drilling a hole then using a grommet or just running it through the big bundle of wires going through there anyways. then they will run the power on one side of the car under the door sills and the output cables on the opposite side to avoid interference. You could always just pull up the carpet and run it that way as well.

Here's a link to the sticky on how to relocate the battery to the trunk/boot you could follow as well.

Wow, a 4 gauge remote wire would be insane! SO you pretty much need to run your power (4gauge wire) from the battery to the correct terminal, and the same with the remote (ACC) wire? But dont know how to do it, or where to run it? What do you mean by boot?

you need to know how to wire a radio?

You dont need 4 gauge wire for a head-unit

Wire what up?
