Anders0n · 22nd July 2007, 23:49

Autoleads PC4-60 4G Car Amplifier Wiring Kit

I bought that before you posted.

Predator_R32^p · 23rd July 2007, 00:00

ahhhhh right well that comes with 6 metres of speaker wire and you have bought the 10 metres aswell so you should be fine, did you get the RCA lead too

Anders0n · 23rd July 2007, 00:07

Yep the 5m one from ebay you suggested.

Predator_R32^p · 23rd July 2007, 00:10

yep well your all set mate, let me know when the arrive and there fitted, and if you come into any problems or queries you know where i am

Anders0n · 23rd July 2007, 00:13

Any guides around for fitting it all? I've read your amp diagrams so i have a good idea but I need to know where are the best places to run cables and put everything etc...

Predator_R32^p · 23rd July 2007, 00:38

only thing i can say is read the stickies and FAQs mate they should help you wire it up

you also get a diagram in the wiring kit usually

its really easy to do dont worry, just remember to disconnect the battery by undoing the negative

Anders0n · 23rd July 2007, 18:42

Ok cheers, Are there any decent guides in the Premium section?

I fitted the HU earlier, little problem though, it seems to be losing all the settings everytime I remove the key from the ignition. Any idea why?

Predator_R32^p · 23rd July 2007, 23:56

ahhhh yeah i remember now lol, good bit of kit isnt it

Anders0n · 24th July 2007, 08:57

Haha just got the speaker wire through and they've sent 2 packs of 10m, with free gift printed on one of them. Result!

Anders0n · 24th July 2007, 14:37

Ok got everything here apart from the sub.

Just had a little play with the wiring and I've a got few questions...

How do I get the power cable through to the battery? Do I have to make my own hole? Also, how am I supposed to hide the thing? Does it go under the carpet?

Is it best to run the power cable and 1 speaker cable down the left side and the phono cable, remote cable, and the other speaker cable down the right?

I take it they run from the boot, down the side of the rear seats, then tucked under the carpet until under the dash? Thats the only way I can think of doing it. Anyone got a better idea?

Cheers

Predator_R32^p · 24th July 2007, 14:40

there are pictures of the grommet in the stickies you have to get the power to mate, also where to hook it up and where to earth it

its best to take all the seats out mate makes things a lot easier

run the powercable and speaker cable down the passenger side

down the middle run the RCAs and remote wire

down the drivers side another bit of speaker cable

all tucked under the carpet yes

Anders0n · 24th July 2007, 18:59

Ok done everything apart from wiring up the speakers. I just need to know where to put the crossover? I have a few ideas but I want to know wheres best.
