Little Red Lulu Posted April 21, 2013 Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 Hi trying to connect a sub wire from bartery to inside the car... we have found the main gromit in bonnet but cannot find where it leads to in the car... Any help?? ThanksEmma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete91 Posted April 21, 2013 Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 It leads to the passenger foot well. I can't remember if you need to remove any trim to see it though? It will come out right up in the foot well though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patroddy Posted April 21, 2013 Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 What you gotta do is poke the wire through the big grommet in your engine bay under your header tank, then you've got to get your arm right up the back of the dash, pull the carpet and sound deadening out of the way and the wire should be there ready to pull, I've done it one mine, Olivia's and James Cordells Arosa before now no problems, just gotta fish a bit for the wire behind the dash, better if you have two because one can wiggle the wire and one can search for it but I've done it on my own on two occasions this is what Adam Ralph send to me when i asked him how! hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Red Lulu Posted April 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 I've moved away the foam underlining and looking from there.. think sound deadening is in the way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little Red Lulu Posted April 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 I got it done! Thanks for the help! Will be covered (the wood) and working next weekend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skezza Posted April 21, 2013 Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 I got it done! Thanks for the help! Will be covered (the wood) and working next weekend! Never been a huge fan of subs, but I like what you've done there! You could easily wrap that in something like carbon vinyl or even felt. Main thing is it looks very nicely mounted!

Vinnyzf Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 Looks awesome! I know they're not the best subs ever but I bet they pound! Was the box hard to make/measure? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete91 Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 Looks awesome! I know they're not the best subs ever but I bet they pound! Was the box hard to make/measure?Not too bad just use this formula; volume = length x breadth x height. You already know the required volume, the width and depth of the boot so just plug all those numbers in and you get the required height.Edit: oh and just use the boot carpet as a template Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete91 Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 Just make it a rectangular box with mdf cut to the shape of the boot on the bottom and top. It will save fannying about with mad formulas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vinnyzf Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 I want to port mine to about 34hz, so it's a bit harder than making a sealed box. Looks nice in your car though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason_lupo22 Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 Has anyone got any pictures of where to feed the wire from the battery? Iv tried to follow the guide but don't think I'm doing it right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshthewacko Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 I'll take/upload some tonight of my 0awg going through the bulkhead.It's pretty easy, from engine side, follow rear wiper fluid pipe back till you find the grommet that goes through the car, just pull that out if you are having trouble getting yours through or wedge the cable through it then pull it through from under passenger footwell.

Jason_lupo22 Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 Il have a go at that. Wasn't sure what I was doing tbh. Pulled most of the passenger footwell out in the process to lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vinnyzf Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 (edited) What subs you running vinny?Running a Pioneer Champion series DVC 12". 400w RMS wired down to 2 ohm. It's in a crap sealed box atm and I know I can get more out of it! Edited April 24, 2013 by Vinnyzf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason_lupo22 Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 I spent a bit of time trying to get my sub and amp all wired in and i have it all pretty much done. Except for one this. I long thin blue wire coming out of the amp? Seen them before but cant remember where the hell it does! Any help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trx 33 Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 The wire you are talking about is the remote wire which, when wired in, will switch the amp on when the radio is turned on. You need to wire it to the remote out from your radio, if it does not have one then you can wire it into a switched live for the car, this will mean the amp will be on when the radio is not, but will turn off when the key is taken out. Hope this helped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
