Ok so... amping =)

The story so far.. Recieved my blaupunky pre-out adapter and amp/wiring kit

Just wired my 2 channel amp up, inside so nothing is yet in the car ive never done this before so i have a HELL of a lot of wires.

How in gods name do you get the main power to the battery / remote on / audio leads to the bottom of the car, do i need to rip carpet up?

Is there any other way apart from this, as it sounds like a BIG task

Rep available for any help

to get the leads through i removed the back seat 2 bolts, loosened the rear door cards pushed the leads through until sort of at door level, remove the door rubbers and lift the little carpet catches, bout 5 i believe once thats done u can pull all leads through to the front of car and to cdplayer.

To get the power lead through to the battery lay down in car and look under dash below glove box there should be a gromit with leads going through it, put the lead through that CAREFULLY taped to a screwdriver get someone else in the engine bay to tell you wen they can see it. (It will appear behind the brake reservior) pull it through and wire it up!

I earthed my amp to the bolt on the back seat just rub it back to bear metal to get a good conection

Hope that helps mate

P.S. not a great big task seats come out in 5 mins size 13 socket i belive, should take under an hr hardest bit is the power cable through the grommit

[355858]

yeah that should be ok, just make sure the inline fuse is as near to the battery as possible.


hope this helps if u get stuck give us a shout mate

[355858]

sorry bout all these posts, just forgot to say the grommit will be hard to get through but dont push too hard too fast cos u dont wanna hit anything in the engine bay. the rubber on the doors is also quite stiff just give it a tug and it will lift the little clips i told u bout for the carpet should easily lift with a screwdriver and go back down with a small hit of hammer :)
