Hey Guys,

 

Just bought a Sub and Amp and wiring kit and was wondering where people have run their wires. I've seen alot of how to's and alot of them have said use an unused hole on your firewall usually covered by a grommet of some description. After searching around for a while I couldnt find one on the battery side of the car. Any help is greatly appreaciated

 

Also, where have you run your wiring? As I'm planning to have the sub in the boot and the Amp either attached to the sub or under the passenger seat. Has anyone done anything similiar to their sedan? Is there a better place to have the Amp?

 

Is it better to run the power cables down one side of the car and the RCA's down the other side due to interference or does it not matter?

 

The wiring kit is 8 gauge just fyi

 

Cheers guys!

If you need to ask, get someone else to do it.

I ran the main sub wire from the battery into the passenger side wheel well cavity and then back towards the cabin. There's a grommet that goes from the cabin into that cavity there somewhere. The main power line comes in somewhere near the glove box and meets up the with the lines from the head unit.

 

From there I run all the lines to the rear of the car along the passenger side bottom door rail and under the back passenger seat across to the sub that lives in the front middle of the boot facing hatch. It comes out and plugs up nice and tidy.

 

As with any lead you add directly to the positive side of the battery you should add a fuse in as close to the battery as possible. I assume your wiring kit will come with one.

Watch out for any part of the line that might rub on metal and add rubber hose or similar around it to protect it from cutting through. In my case I added some rubber around the sub wire where it went into the cavity from the battery.

 

It's not a difficult job, just sometimes fiddly. Hope it helps.
