Will be fitting my components on wednesday and i want to amp them, just have a few questions..
Is there any good spots for the ground?
Is there a grommet that i can use to feed the power cable into the cabin?
Are there any sills that i can use to hide the wiring?
cheers lads
Few amp questions!

depends where you are mounting the amp, ground as near to the amp as you can,if no suitable grounding point near amp, drill hole in floor, put nut/washer and bolt through, treat hole with rust preventer. Carefully prise the sill covers off and pull back carpet, run power cables down one side and speaker and low input cables on other side. Only put fuse back into amp when you have wired and double checked connections, turn gain down on amp and then adjust until sound starts to distort when at nearly full volume on headunit. Enjoy your handy work and sit smugly playing favourite tunes!

Prising the sill covers off will only break them! Remove rear seat bolster and slide them off. Refit using washing up liquid (it's fiddly) .
