Wiring route for subwoofer.. HELP!

[beadl3s]

I realise that this may have been covered before but i've searched and not found anything!

I'm looking to fit my sub into my sport but i don't really know where the best place for the wires to be routed, especially the main power lead that has to go through the bulk-head. I have looked under the bungs that are provided however it still seems unclear.

Can anyone help me?!?

I know this is for a Fabia but it's probably the same procedure.

dont know where i found these pictures from but i used them when i was doing it

You can then reach over and behind the floor carpet to grap the wire.

^ nope you dont have to unscrew the glove box.

Basically what you can do is take off the side panel (between the door and dash) and you will see the cables when threading them through the 2nd grommet! hope this helps!

I didnt need to take the glovebox bit out?! As far as i can remember anyway.

*edit* beaten to it

what gauge wire you using?

 

[philster]

just make sure your power feed and audio feed are routed down different sides of the car to stop interference

You can just about get 0AWG through those grommet holes.

ahhh thanks guys, that helps loads! i was looking at drilling through the bulk-head but that seemed too much effort! I'll give it a go when i get the chance!

Took me about an hour to route the cables in total. Make sure you seal up any of the grommits you go through with a bit of silicone sealant or something to prevent water getting into the cabin.

And finally, don't nearly electrocute yourself when you connect it all up like I did!
