I am trying to add an AMP behind the driver or passenger seat and wondering if I can feed it from inside the cabin ?!

And if it needs to be wired from the battery then how can I get the cables through ?

Some clarity wouldnt go amiss here. When u say 'feed it' do u mean; an audio signal, a power supply, a kitkat?

Dont know about e89 but in the e85 i have my amp is located behind the battery in the boot with the audio cabling routed back to head unit and speakers through a central conduit in cabin/boot wall.
Maybe take up carpet in boot to find power loom if it exists?

Done it for my E85 and the E89 is quiet a different car, that is why I am asking folks in here just to see if there is short cut instead of undoing the carpet :)
