Power Cable Install

[Arosa16vology]

Right i've just ordered myself a new Alpine - 10" Type S Sub & Amp.

Before i start installing it, just wanted to ask where has everyone else run their power lead from the battery to the inside of the car?

Just to save me some time looking when i come to doing it, can somebody help?

Cheers

Mk1 or 2 ?

Down The Bulkhead!

Its pretty much the same for both models.

Look down the back of the engine on the blukhead and you'll see a rubber grommet - follow the wires and cables to find it. Get a chopstick or something and use it to help feed the wire through from the battery, then get under the dash and retrieve the other end. Sorted

unless your using 0awg cable like me then youll struggle!

Mine's a MK2 i was looking at that gromit today.

Its a tight fit, but there's actually quite a big hole under the grommet, its just tight to stop water getting through I guess. I had to put a little slit in mine to get the cable through, and that was only a low gauge one

I removed one of the bolts from a plate covering the bulkhead and fed the power cable through there. Dunno whether that was stupid or not, but had no trouble / leaks for the last 15 months since fitting.

Kept the bolt safe though!
