LeeZetecS Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Does anyone know of a way of getting an 8gauge cable (about the thickness of your little finger tip) through from the Engine bay to the inside of the car? I think the wiring from the engine bay comes in just above and behind the glove box but i dont really want to be pulling the dash out.. It's still to new for all that.

r3ign Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 (edited) Does anyone know of a way of getting an 8gauge cable (about the thickness of your little finger tip) through from the Engine bay to the inside of the car? I think the wiring from the engine bay comes in just above and behind the glove box but i dont really want to be pulling the dash out.. It's still to new for all that. Hey, I have managed to get a 4 gauge cable from the engine bay to the boot, there's a big grommet behind the glove box, i just took the grommet out and pushed the cable through the hole and put the grommet back, there's a slight gap there but nothing much. will post pics up when i get time. hope this has helped you :) p.s. you don't have to take the dash out to achieve this, just need to take the glove box out Edited March 10, 2010 by r3ign Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taking the headunit out is something I'm Dreading.. but i'l take my time. yeah i will see if i have time tomorrow to put something together, and yeah once you have taken the top of the had unit out its all down hill from there :) the car even has room for the 4 gauge wire to go all the way to the boot, I was impressed :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think because the only way you can install a in line level converter without cutting cables. thats what i did, i've taken pics just waiting for photobucket to finish with the uploading process :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r3ign Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Hope the images are clear enough for you here's the grommet from the engine side its all the way up the right hand corner: here's the view behind the glove box, (this is quite tricky to locate as its almost directly behind the fuse box) and this is how much room i have in the boot after i install the sub (Vibe slick) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
