Sound System Install - Where Do You Run Your Wires?

[Mckellar]

Craig, ur mpg will be amazing hauling those boulders around with you!!

I ran 4awg wires under the sill plastics, they unclip and reattatch easily.
Your amps and wiring look tidy craig though.

 

[surcalation]

it all depends on how much wire you have and what gauge. Ive got 0gauge running through mine so way too thick to hide under the plastic!!

You take the plastic out and run it under the carpet along the side basically. Then put the plastic back on top.

But then again my power cable is 4awg, but I reckon I could fit 0awg down the same way. Spose it doesn't matter where you run it as long as it's hidden and not all down the same way.

Gonna drive it down for me then

I've got the false floor for the rear of the car also accompanied by a sub box that is almost the shape of the spare wheel well. Perfect if you have a 12" sub. All the bits for £15 in anyone want it. (took me a week to make )

Mig

is it sealed properly though mig otherwise you wont be getting the best out of your sub. My mpg is actually fine but this is why when people say do some mods on ur engine i tell them there is no point unless i strip the car out lol!!

Well it was sealed properly so the sound was really good. I don't like the sound system ear bleeding loud, but I do like the quality to be good, and that sub did it nicely. But now the car is sold, sub is back in a normal square box and the boot install flooring and box are just laying around doing nothing

I unclipped the plastic down each side and put the wiring under them. I also removed the rear cards from the sides and put all the wiring behind them. Once the wiring is in the boot it is all hidden under the carpet by the spare wheel. Im going to build a false floor to screw my sub box etc to so they will then be hidden under the false floor.
