Amplifier Install CHCH

[Flat4]

Hey

I have a 2 channel amp that I want to install under the seat and hook up to the front speakers in my Legacy. Have had it sitting around for a few months so thought I should get on to it

Anyone know of someone in CHCH who could install it for a reasonable price?

depends on what you want really ie size or power. for a 8 gauge kit everything you need would be $40 or for a 4 gauge kit would be $60

Hey guys

I have the amp wiring all done except for the speaker wires which I'm stuck on. Anyone have any tips for threading them into the doors?

Cheers

[Flat4]

Also whats the best way to secure the amp under the seat?

[rex-leggy]

use the existing wires ? as they come into the car

[Scoobydoo]

The way I've most often done it (easiest / laziest way) is use a long screwdriver (or bent out steel coathanger) and make a hole in the rubber cable guide on each side (so it's still protected from any metal edges), and run the cable through that way. Tape the cable to the end of the screwdriver so you can grab it off after you've poked it through.

Can also use some silicon spray to make it slide easier.

Yes you still see the cable, but short of totally removing the door, that's about the next best option.

One door down , one to go.

Its possible to get it through the factory rubber boot , just takes a bit of time and patience.

You need to unplug the loom and pull the boot out at both ends giving you as much length as possible between the door and body.

Then use something stiff but reasonably flexible ( I use some teflon tubing ) to push thru the boot then tape on the cable and pull thru.

Once thats done poke one end into the door and the other end into the car and refit the boot.

[Flat4]

All done now. Massive thanks to thorpy for helping me out and for the beer and BBQ to top it off... what a GC

Threading the cable through the door is a bit fiddly but if I can do it anyone can haha. The teflon tubing worked pretty well

How long did it take?

[thorpy]

think it took a couple of hours , most of that was feeding cables thru the doors.

If its just a sub shouldnt take too long.

[Divine]

I have everything, but need to do all the wiring

[thorpy]

Im happy to help but im just busy for the next few weeks.

[Divine]

All good will try tonight

How did you get on? If you need a hand come round ive got a knack for hiding wires and such
