Installing a subwoofer

[Yorkshire]

Hi

I am looking at installing my old sub into the boot of the car but not sure where the best place is to run the cable in the clio?
Can any one advise the best place to get through from the battery to the boot?
I have looked for a guide but haven't found one, any advise would be great.

Thanks

if you unclip the power steering reservoir and move it out of the way, then pull back the sound deadening carpet, there is a grommet there with the wiring loom going through,

its not the easiest to get to and can be a bit fiddly but it will go through

Thank you for your reply. Where does that come through inside?

Top of the passenger foot well.

Cheers! Is it easy enough to get under the side plastics to run to the back?
In my old mk3 fiesta the plastic scuff plates pulled out easily to put the cable under.

Where your bonnet catch is on the left hand side follow the cable and make them go throw the fire wall piss easy mate

yer its easy you dont need to take it off it tucks up nicely underneath the bottom edge, then when you get to the saetbelt go over the top of it

Like this guy said, run power one side, RCA & remote the other.

hi Yorkshire you should right a guide for it m8

Maybe a stupid question but how easy is it to get the power steering reservoir out of the way? Is it just clips? Don't want to snap it off...

... if you have the ears of a hawk, die hard ice enthusiasts will insist on this. But majority of muggles will not notice any interference - unless its a particularly hefty power cable your running. It is the correct way to do things, but wouldn't say essential.

Yes it depends on the gauge able you use, but for the sake of the extra 10 minutes work it takes to run the cables correctly - it's a no brainer really...
