Help fitting a Sub

BJDBurton · 03-10-2010, 08:29 AM

I am looking at fitting a Sub in my 51 plate rio and wondered if there are any existing holes between the engine bay and either the driver or passenger footwell that I can use for the power cable or will I have to drill a hole through myself. I have been looking for about 30 minutes to see and I can't find one but I want to make sure before I do anything else.

I did the same thing then tucked it underneath the carpet and floor side panels all the way to the trunk. No one even knows I have a system until I pop the trunk.

Cheers for the advice guys. Just got round to fitting it last night. Running it through the clutch grommet worked a treat!

i found that it worked really well if u put ur amp under the drivers seat, that way if it gets real hot, u can turn on the air conditioning and the heater duct shoots right at the amp. i know this isnt relevant, but its just some extra advice.

Hmm thats not a bad idea but you can always build an enclosed amp rack and put 2 cpu fans on each side. One side will draw in air, the other end will blow air out. It keeps the amp cool regardless of how hot it gets. Air the is constantly circulating is cooler than air that is just not circulating.
