bigrichi 0 Posted March 29, 2009 Hi Folks, i have just purchased one of these and need abit of advice from somebody regards wiring it up. i am going to place it in the boot, probably screwed to the rear seats. i have the wiring diagrams etc so think i should be ok with what goes where but as far as i can see i need power, rca and it also comes with a control unit which i need to run cables for from front to back for each. what i wanted to check is, if i remove the centre console, rear hump etc will it be ok if i just run all the cables together underneath. i think i remember reading somewhere that you can get interference if the cables are too close to each other?? been a while since i fitted any kind of stereo stuff is this the case or am i just making the intereference but up :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikehiow 0 Posted March 29, 2009 It's said you should run power and RCA's down opposite sides of the car, however, I've never done this - and never had a problem - I'd say you're fine as long as you have half-decent RCA cables. I think it's just theoretical practice tbh. Perhaps it may be an idea to run them down either side of the tunnel. My cd changer cable runs tucked up under the plastic centre console trims, under the removable cushion on the back seats, and into the boot. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 1 Posted March 29, 2009 Helped to install an active sub last weekend in my Corrado and did the same thing - ran the cables under the carpet along the centre console. Did them both on the same side and am not suffering any problems with interference at all. As mikehiow says, just use good quality cabling and you should be ok. I guess if it was a competition grade sub or something you might need to do it a bit more carefully :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr.ots 10 Posted March 29, 2009 I ran the rca and power cables under the passenger side carpet when I installed my sub in the boot and haven't had any problems with interference. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

moneypit23 0 Posted April 8, 2009 Thanks for the review, it was between one of these and a Vibe cbr but these are smaller so i think i'll start looking for one. Kate Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
