Default How do I run power for trunk amp in my A4B7?

Where can i run wires through the firewall?

Is there an easy way to hide the cable or do i have to remove the back seat, glove compartement, and so on to get it under the floor mats?

Mayby there's a tech guide out there somewhere but i have not been able to find it.

Default On my B6 I ran it through a grommet in the firewall...

it's located towards the driver's side. The only thing that I took apart is the kick panel by the footrest and the footrest itself. After that, just fish it through this part and then tuck it under the door sills. I didn't remove the door sills since I used 8AWG wire, but if you use thicker wire, then you may have to. I tucked it along the front door sill, B-pillar, rear door sill and channeled it up through the rear seat and into the trunk. It's not hard at all.

Default Apparently there's a real 12V tap by the fusebox???

Just spoke to my local car stereo expert (150 miles from where i live) who told me there's a 12V tap (bolt) somewhere close to the fuse box. They told me that this is basically unique for the Audi A4 and that it's the best and easiest way to get power inside the car.

Sounds too good to be true, never heard of it before either. I'm off looking for it.

Yup there's one down in the footwell. I just decided to go straight to the battery though.

I think it's right under the dead pedal. I've seen pics posted before...search the B6 forum.
