Amp Wiring, Recommendations?

[Henk]

Got a pair of subs to go in the boot of the V70, no doubt I'm not the first to do it, so what's the best wiring route for electrical and RCA cables?
Was quite easy on my Skoda due to being a poorly made piece of cr4p!
Will be replacing the crap door speakers too I think, not great at all

Have you got the system with the pre existing amp in car?

Have you got the system with the pre existing amp in car?

don't think so, all i can tell is double-din stock cassette stereo (now swapped), standard 5.25 (i think) door speakers in front and rears.
That's the more upper-class models i suspect, they probably cheaped out on the diesel

If you weren't at the top of Powys I'd happily show you fella as sound systems are my party piece

oh nice, well appreciated anyway.
Any pointers you could give about running the live through te bulkhead and the passenger compartment?

Not done it myself as yet on a Volvo as I have a pre existing amp but I'm sure there are a few guys on here that can point you through that one

[Henk]

ah okay. well hoping someone can help. not seeing any obvious wore routing through the firewall

Sure there's a grommet somewhere
Let me ring my mate in morning as he done most cars in the last 15 years of installs and I'll see for an answer

huge improvement!
Didn't bother running the power through the car, down the engine bay and alongside the brake lines and through a grommet in the boot.
The amp is bolted to the underside of the rear boot 'flap' thing covering the spare, with a JL Audio twin 12" box ontop.
Cable routing from the stereo's not as good, it's just bare between the 'tunnel' bit and the rear seats, but it's good enough
Happy days!
