Best way to pass cables through the bulkhead?

2016 D4 Landmark

Hoping someone can help with a bit of guidance, please ... I want to pass a twin-core cable through from behind the dash (let's say somewhere around the fusebox behind the glove box flap, but could be anywhere) through into the engine bay.

Ultimate destination for the wires will probably be inside the front n/s bumper (as that's the only place with any space!!).

I want to fit a waterproof PA speaker that will be fed by a 12V amp that's going to be powered from fuse F59 (IGN+).

I've spent this afternoon underneath the D4 trying to find a way to pass twin-core through but couldn't see any easy way ... if anyone can help I'd be super grateful.

Cheers

From the engine bay, take the cover off the drivers side and you’ll find the grommet in the bulkhead. Push shoe thing sharp through (I used wood drill bit) by and as it needs to rip a hole in the sound carpet in the footwell the other side.

Thank you, chaps!

To be quite honest I was pretty disheartened when I knocked off this evening but this new information has boosted me up to get going again in the morning.

If I'm successful, I'll take some photos and post them.
Cheers!
