Mk1 Cable help....

[Bellur]

I just got a mk1 1.9 diesel versialles. All I could afford really after crashing me saxo. Today I wanted to get my HU installed but I couldt find anywhere to run a power cable from the battery into the car. Does anyone know of a relatively easy access grommet to do this, preferrably for a run of 4 gauge and say 2 runs of 14 gauge or similar. Another thing is, the clio has no door speakers, although I have heard that there is a door cut out behind the door card for 5" speakers, is this correct? I can see the grommet on the door for cable routing, but how do i get it into the car. There is a wire block on the car that has some wires going into it from inside, is there a way to egt this off and perhaps drill through some blank holes and get wire into the car like this?? any wiring help will be much appreciated, thanks.

Found the spot. Pass foot well the 2" piece of foam, remove that then get the plastic part out and you got a massive hole for cables. Comes out just behind shock strut. Perfect. Much more space than in the saxo.

If you want to run cables into your doors then just undo the two silver screws that hold the connector block in place and you will be able to remove it. Then just pierce a hole in the rubber cover on the door and you'll be able to insert cables into your door.

If you remove the plastic trim there is a hole for speakers in the metal, so you just need to cut a hole in the plastic.


Hope that helps!
