What is everyone using to secure power and speaker wires to fiberglass? Im running 2- 14 gauge heavy cables thru areas that I can’t put a screw thru. Any suggestions on epoxying zip tie mounts?

I don't have any suggestion on the mounts or how they work, only suggest using Velcro instead of zip ties. Less chance of abrasions, and easier serviceability.

I just put my wires in black plastic looming, or whatever it’s called, much like they did to the stock wires, and just zip tied that to whatever I could find.
I've used all the methods described (loom, zips & hook/loop) and where possible I put in cable mounting brackets to keep some cables from lying in a hold or lying against something that might be abrasive. I think the epoxy would work well if you can get them lined up and able to cure in the correct location.
