Fitting an amp on clio 182

[azzer2000]

Hi,

Im about to fit my stereo into my 182, trouble is, i cant find anywhere to thread the live wire from the battery into the car. Can anyone tell me where it will thread through, without taking things apart to much?



Cheers

Passenger side footwell, shove hand up behind sound deadening about halfway youll find a grommit. this will lead to the engine bay behind the sounds deadening that side. Better off removing the fluid bottle to the to it. Poke through with a wire hanger or screwdriver

Oms.

I cant find it, unless its the one that has 2 wires already running through it? which is visible without going under the sound proofing?

The grommet is the black circular thing, in the middle of the brown stuff.

Difficult to see, but my AMP power cable (red) has been fed through it.

BTW, Soapy water and a spray gun is a must!

Mate, iv just spent 30 mins tryin to poke a wire coat hanger through that grommet, it aint happening, its as tight as a ducks arse. No way the wire would fit through, is there an easyer option??

You need two people to do it.

Eviljohn was braver than me and pushed his arm right behind the coolant bottle (which was removed) as i shoved the power cable through the grommit using a wire coathanger. Once you get hold of it, its easy.

 

[azzer2000]

Its more the problem of pushing the cable through that grommet in the first place, so akward to get to

Gotta give it some force!! Stab a screw driver through it!

Helps of you remove the coolant bottle then you can force your arm down the back of it.
