xrjx Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 Where to run wires and that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobblers Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 Run wires up the sill trims (Run phono cables up one side, and the power and speaker cables up the other side)Earth to any metal in the boot (I used the thin gusset around the top of the spare wheel well)You might struggle to fit any speakers in the parcel shelf though!

.Phase Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 open the door and peel back the rubber seal is the easiest wayI put Phono, power, remote etc. all up one side but I think they can cause interferance for some peopleI have no problems (:my ground goes to a bolt under the back seats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cobblers Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 Wheres the sill trims though The plastic trims down the inside of the sills - pull the door rubbers off at the bottom and you might be able to just poke the wires down the gap, but I had to take the actual trim off to get the wires in because I'm using 4 guage cable.

treblet Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 Have you run in your phono cables, power cable from the battery and the earth cable yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xrjx Posted August 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 No, so you cant just attach it to the head unit then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treblet Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 (edited) No, you need to power the sub via the amp which is what you need to run that cabling for.If you don't know how to do this most car audio places will do it for £20-30 Edited August 5, 2009 by treblet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xrjx Posted August 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 I'll figure it out, thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
