under the carpet, behind the dash and through the bulkhead

Mine runs down the passenger side under the carpet (take the rear seat out and it will be easier! Then under the carpet by the door there's is a nice little gap (you will have to pull that thick rubber seal of), it then goes through the "firewall" in the passenger footwell, and goes through the same hole as the rear washer pipe, hardest part was putting the grommet back on!, not sure where your planning on putting your amp but there is a nice earthing point behind the carpet near the boot, remember to get a good contact! The route to the head unit is rather simple , From the footwell ,there is a couple screw things that hold back some plasticy/carpet stuff in the top , remove them and there is a nice route, sorry it's not very accurate but it was a couple months ago I installed it! :lol:

Cheers buddy try ad get as many as you can as tomorrow it isn't raining I will be fitting it

Here you go dude, did not have enough time to take the rear door card out but just follow the black pipe (rear window washer)

right, from the boot, they go into here (remove the rear card and seat at this point)

get them tucked in tidy and they have them come out through here (remove the plastic trim and also the thick rubber seal):

IMAG0170.jpg

my sub cables are feed behind the black clip bits, and the amp and remote wires under the clips following that rear window washer pipe again

IMAG0169.jpg

the wires then appear in the foot wells (where the other end of the plastic trim is attached with that clip)

IMAG0174.jpg

the positive then follows the rear window washer pipe through the firewall, this was the trickiest bit for me, you will probs need to increase the size of the hole depending what gauge cable you are using, this is fairly easy to do tho, increase your original grommet size and pop that bastard on (took me a while -_-) your cable will then come out here (under the washer bottle and that thick bunch of wires):IMAG0176.jpg

The speaker cables and remote then go behind the glove box and behind that weird bit in the top of the footwell, it may help to loosen the glove box (it takes time to remove it) with the headunit out you should be able to feed the wires up.

sorry about not getting the rear panel out but there is a earthing point behind there, also use a star wash think thats it name) to make a better connection, oh and sorry about all the wires behind the glove box , in the mids of fitting central locking and alarm!

Cheers buddy try ad get as many as you can as tomorrow it isn't raining I will be fitting it
