[ste_chap]

Hi just wonderd if anybody could tell me where best to run the wires when wiring my sub.

Ive got a mk2 clio 1.4 sport and going to wire it up tonight i was just wondering if any1 has ever wired the mk2 clio up and if you have any good routes.

Should be a doddle. I've never personally done it. But I know the inside of mine is almost all plastic down either side. Finding the gromit to the engine bay is probably the trickiest part.

I wired my last one in my 106 quiksilver and just couldnt find a way of getting the wires hidden when coming from the bottom of the door plastic up to the seats if that makes sense and everybody always used to comment it and say i guess you wired it yourself lol.

pain in the arse. I would suggest doing it when it's light. Unless you're doing it in a garage?

When you run the wires down the car (from the hu to the boot) don't put them all together, if you do you will get interference.

right mate, i done all mine myself, what you need to do is locate the grommit behind the glove box for the bonnet catch, get a metal coat hanger and push a hole through it, tape the wire to the other end and feed it through,
that's the hard part.
rest is a doddle, just run it under the plastic along the door and along the inside of where the rear speaker sits on the backseat then out the end at the boot.
don't run you're rca leads with the power cable, do the same for the other side or you get interferance.
