SUB WIRE INTO STERIO



  Clio mk2
so i fitted all the other wires to fit my sub but cant find a hole through the back of the stereo to connect my sub wires, is there one or should i make one or what??...i got a clio mk2.
 
Total lack of information on this fella you need to say what wires. Are you talking RCA's or remote wire? assuming you've already connected the sub to the amp and run the power and earth to the amp from the car? Also are you trying to wire it to an aftermarket or factory head unit?
 
Yeah, need more info.

If you have an aftermarket headunit, that's a start. You should have a set of RCA's (red and white) and a remote lead going into the rear of the headunit to the amp. Power lead going from the amp to the battery, earth lead from the amp to the car chassis, and some speaker wire from the amp to the sub.

If you have a factory headunit, you may be stuck I think.

i have an aftermarket cd player and im trying to wire the remote and RCA wires into the back of my head unit, i just ned to know if there is some way i can get to the back of the headunit through some sort of hole?

You need to pull the head unit out of the dashboard, then connect the wires.

see thats easy done but its actually putting the wires away ie, having the wires behind the head unit itself but u cant find a hole to thread them through.

there is one there, I slways start from the frontwhen doing installs. Take the head unit out and run my RCAS and my remote cable from the head unit hole and work my way back.

However, my new unit has a processor box in the boot, so easy to wire :D

ive put stereo systems into literally a hundred cars, And I Can confirm that a clio mk 2 is one of the easiest.

Have you got your power wire through the bulkhead yet?

The hole i used when i did my mk 2 phase 1 was down by the glovebox, Cable tied it under teh glove box and came up the passenger side of the car.

Push a wire through the hole that the headunit came out of and see where it ends up....
