How do I get the power?!!!
« on: May 12, 2014, 12:56:11 pm »
Hi

Really basic question, I am looking at installing an old sub and Amp that I have  :grin:had in my previous few cars.  Its nothing fancy at all but will hopefully improve the sound that I currently have in the Golf!  I have searched the forum but struggling to find if there is a how to guide on doing it in the mk5?!  My initial issue is finding the best place to route the cable through from the engine bay into the cabin but of course if there is any other info on the best place to route the cables within the car thoo I would be grateful!!

Cheers

Behind the glove box there is an unused grommet. I found it easier to go from the inside of the car out.

The grommet is hidden behind the battery.
Without traction power is nothing!
