Best place to wire subs in vw golf?
I got my clarion deck installed today and i'm going to wire the amp and subs
in this weekend. I've never installed on a vw before tho. Where is the best place to run wire from batt thru firewall? then thru car to trunk? TIA |

There is a grommet on the firewall below and to the left of the brake
vaccuum booster. This is where the the throttle cable would normally run through. Since your car is "drive by wire" there is no cable but the grommet and opening are still there. That is where you should run your amp cable. - RG "Thunder" wrote in message ... 04 |

Also, do a search on the the VWvortex forum. There are tons of info and
pics there on stereo installs and removing interior panels to install cables and speakers, etc. - RG "Thunder" wrote in message ... 04 |

Just to add to my last post, you should run power wires down one side, and
then RCA's and speaker wires down the other side. MOSFET "Thunder" wrote in message ... I got my clarion deck installed today and i'm going to wire the amp and subs in this weekend.

MOSFET Now I have a question for you, ho far should the RCA wires be from the power wire? I ask, because I was planning on running the RCA wires under my carpet in the center of the car, but it is about half the distance away from the power wire than it would be if I ran it all the way on the other side of the car. |

Now I have a question for you, ho far should the RCA wires be from the
power wire? I ask, because I was planning on running the RCA wires under my carpet in the center of the car, but it is about half the distance away from the power wire than it would be if I ran it all the way on the other side of the car. IMHO, I don't think it needs to be very far away (there's no hard and fast rule here). The KEY THING you want to avoid is your power wire running right next to (in parallel with) your RCA's. Other than that, you can usually get away with running your wires most anywhere you want. Just do the best you can to keep power wires away from RCA's. MOSFET |

It's always best to run the RCA's away from the power cable because ... it
will never hurt to do so, and it provides peace of mind more than anything else. But I have run them right next to the power cable with zero detrimental effects. I hate to say it, but for the most part it is largely an urban myth. But I still try to run them separate anyway ... -RG "MOSFET" wrote in message m...
