Run RCA's/Sok Cables which side?

[oofoofoo]

Just come back from audio shop - techie suggested that i run RCA's/Spk cables on the left side of car, to avoid fuel pump cables and possible interference... can anyone confirm this?

[paulr33]

As far as I know this is correct and makes sense too

[Nav2k]

true

and run power cable on the other side cos that gives out interference aswell

doesnt really matter left or right, just make them opposite

[oofoofoo]

fortunately power cable is only about 0.5m long (in boot).

Rule of thumb, try keep power one side / signals, audio other side. It is possible to hear even an indicator noise thru rcas when the wires run together. just keep the rca's to the opposide and you will be fine. (when Cable is run from engine bay to boot). This of course does not apply to cars with batteries in the boot

yep i did this and have absolutely no problems at all .. and its much easier than trying to wire it underneath the carpet ... and yeah there a hole there already so its easy to get through ..

[Wes M]

Yup, installing an amp in a R33 boot is about as simple as it gets... Just a shame the boot is so small

[oofoofoo]

I have run the RCA's and spk cables down the left side of the car (under the carpet), but when running up through kick panel I discovered the ECU - is is the ECU right? Anyone had interference problems from this? While i am at it - anyone know the process of getting cables into the doors; i know how to remove the door trim, but it looks like you have to remove a bit of dash/glove box to get to the port between car and door.

Cheers,

Matt

yeah i still haven't figured out how i'm going to rewire the door wires ..

[Wes M]

You'll need to remove the glove box for sure. One trick is to tak your new cables to the old stock ones and use them as a pull though.. careful with this tho.. U don't want to get snagged so watch out for tape/cable ties etc.

And yes that is the ECU

[oofoofoo]

unless someone else knows, i will try and document my attempts at rewiring doors. Hippy let me know if you beat me to it... might tackle easier jobs like sub box building/boot mdf work in the meantime.

i know this is an old thread, but i'm after info of where/how is the best point to get the RCA's through the rear seat???

I've taken off the bolts to the bottom part of the rear seat (coupe) and tried to move the seat. This did not move it at all, i also didn't want to try and force anything as i don't know whats under there.

If anyone could inform me of how to get the rear seat out that would be good.

[Chris Rogers]

undo the rear lower seat. remove it. find 2-3 10mm bolts on the sides of the upper seat. remove those. grab the seat at the base and push up. it should come out.

[Packy]

Chris: ok, but what is there involved in taking out the bottom half of the seat???

Just take the 2 bolts out and pull up??? And then work on the upper seat??

[Chris Rogers]

packy,

yes that all that is involved. start on the lower seat and work up from there.

[Packy]

Chris: kewl thanks for the info. Much appreciated

[Zman]

does this work for the r32 rear seats as well?

[Chris Rogers]

yep.

[johnbarry88]

very correct

Check out this pictorial guide for more of an idea of where the bolts/clips are.
