Hang on.
It takes around 45 minutes to safely run the cable through the car interior to the boot. Why are you running cable underneath the car? Disclaimer: The above is not to be taken to heart and is probably a joke, grow up you big girl.

still easy enough to run it under the car Chris, and if it's in armour and help up so it's not gunna get snagged on anything, I don't see any issue?

Or just run it under the car. Just as safe and easier.

I just drilled through the car on the left of the air con grommet on my past 2 cars. On the estate ive gone through the grommet on the top rght of hte master cylinder!
I'll have a look at it in the morning if the weather is dry
Is there anywhere that's guaranteed to get it into the car fairly easily

tbh mate, easiest way is thru a grommet in the boot floor, save f*cking about in the engine bay with limited space etc

Just don't do what my mate did and have it wrapped round the exhaust

Round the exhaust that's not a clever idea
When I swap the headunit I don't need to swap any cables over do I on my old vw golf I had to swap the red and yellow wires over so that it would remember the stations and positions on cd etc

my amp cable runs under the car, i sleaved the cable in plastic air line then cable tied it to the brake lines
just be carefull going under the bulkhead near the chasis leg, the antiroll bar is a moving part and may rub through the cable |
