Amp cable - Willo - 15-01-2013

RE: Amp cable - samass - 15-01-2013
yep that'll do the trick mate
RE: Amp cable - C.A.R. - 15-01-2013
Hang on.
It takes around 45 minutes to safely run the cable through the car interior to the boot. Why are you running cable underneath the car?
RE: Amp cable - Willo - 15-01-2013
Cool cheers mate
RE: Amp cable - samass - 15-01-2013
still easy enough to run it under the car Chris, and if it's in armour and help up so it's not gunna get snagged on anything, I don't see any issue?

Because I can't see anyway to get the cable through the bulk head
I have air con on mine if that makes a difference

Use the same grommit the aircon uses then for the condenser
RE: Amp cable - Willo - 15-01-2013
Where's that ?
RE: Amp cable - HDIkyle - 15-01-2013
Tbh it'll be fine without aslong as its not going to chaff on anything. I am running my battery cable under the car just tie it up to the brakelines ot the way
RE: Amp cable - Niall - 15-01-2013
Or just run it under the car. Just as safe and easier.
RE: Amp cable - Eeyore - 15-01-2013
I just drilled through the car on the left of the air con grommet on my past 2 cars. On the estate ive gone through the grommet on the top rght of hte master cylinder!
RE: Amp cable - Willo - 15-01-2013
I'll have a look at it in the morning if the weather is dry
Is there anywhere that's guaranteed to get it into the car fairly easily
RE: Amp cable - samass - 15-01-2013
tbh mate, easiest way is thru a grommet in the boot floor, save f*cking about in the engine bay with limited space etc

Just don't do what my mate did and have it wrapped round the exhaust
RE: Amp cable - Willo - 17-01-2013
Round the exhaust that's not a clever idea
When I swap the headunit I don't need to swap any cables over do I on my old vw golf I had to swap the red and yellow wires over so that it would remember the stations and positions on cd etc

what a massive fail! lol
RE: Amp cable - cully - 17-01-2013
my amp cable runs under the car, i sleaved the cable in plastic air line then cable tied it to the brake lines
just be carefull going under the bulkhead near the chasis leg, the antiroll bar is a moving part and may rub through the cable
