So it's a Z16XE engine then?
the reason I'm asking is because I want to know it there's a gromet in the Bulkhead to put the power cable for an amp through

2 places......
1, remove the top cover in the drivers foot well and look up by the accelator pedle and you'll see a gromet.
2, on the passengers side, remove the plastic cover in the engine bay and you'll see the heating fan. Now go into the car an remove the glove box, it's only a few T20 screws. Now get on your back and look up. thats where the power cable will be coming though. Back in the engine bay, feed the power cable through and right at the top of the fan, feeds lots through so you can see it when you go back inside the car and get on your back. When you see it, pull through and there you have it.
I did number 2, as i'm sure you could tell
Make sure you route it away from the strut tops coz when it cuts through the power cable the whole cabin fills with smoke and the car cuts out..... So i've been told

There is a gromet in the passengers footwell. With a sharp tool, cut it a little then feed the cable through into the car. If you want to make sure that there are no leaks (mine never did) use some silicone sealant round where the wire goes into the car through the gromet. After it's all fitted that is

Where in the footwell? Theres that much shite crammed in the corsa with air con theres no room for dust hardly. So if i ever manage to get it through, how would i manage to get it in the engine bay?

Start in the engine bay. Look behind the gearbox, might have to remove the battery and tray. You should be able to see a big gromet. Push as much or the power cable through thatas you can. Then in the passengers footwell, pull the carpet back that goes up and under the dash, you should be able to feel the power cable that you have poked through.

You can see the gromet here just above that black bar.
