ukcal Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 You could but I'd run it on 2 seperate circuits, the remote "ON" I doubt is more than 1A so you may as well use a piggyback for that instead of adding an inline fuse. So two piggyback connectors to the fuse box? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ukcal Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 I think that's it. I'm interested to see about those crimp things and whether they're any good or not. I usually resort to stripping back the wires and crimping with insulated butts, but those could make life a lot easier! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paramanic Posted April 7, 2015 Author Share Posted April 7, 2015 See am interested in them too but talking to Nathan on here about it he says there not great and said there mostly temporary :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paramanic Posted April 7, 2015 Author Share Posted April 7, 2015 Also how to run wires up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukcal Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Maybe not that brilliant after all then! Assuming all the power cabling would be behind the glovebox and Speakers are spliced into somewhere behind the head unit, you have two choices really (assuming the subwoofer will be going underneath the passenger seat!). You can route some cables underneath the weather proofing on the passenger door (just keep it under the rubber); you might also be able to route it underneath the plastic trim too. Additionally, you can also route cables behind the plastic trim from the centre console, past the gearstick and towards the seat that way. You might have to do both, considering the number of wires that the subwoofer requires! Are you going for it then? :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
