Wanting To Have A Look At An R34 Amp/sub Install, Homebush Area

[Lolrick]

Hi SAU,

I have a 4 gauge wiring kit that needs to run from the battery in the engine bay to the amp in the boot. If anyone has this set up, I'd appreciate if I could drop in and have a look where you ran the cables from the engine bay, and how you mounted the amp in the boot.

I understand most run their wires through a 'hidden' gap near the driver side wheel well, but I'd like to have a look first if it's convenient for anyone. I'm in Newington, so if anyone is nearby (up to say a half hour drive, i suppose?) and has this wiring done on an R34 GTT, I'd love to hear from you

Cheers!

Mick

Still looking!

unfortunately the R34 has the battery on the driver's side instead of the passenger side, so that means you will need to run your power cable along with the rear harness (which isn't ideal).

Run from the battery, into the quarter panel along the harness over the wheel arch then into the cabin through that thick grommet...

Follow that through and line up against the harness running to the rear, cable tying along the way so it's all neat.

Mount amp either on that hump OR on the back seat

Fuse as close as possible to the battery

Earth to anywhere in the boot with a decent sized bolt

easy

Yeah, i have done mine. As above, through drivers side wheel arch was all power cables.. All speaker wires went down passenger side. I have 2 12" subs in boot with amp mounted behind them.

Loads of cable tying and youll be alright. I'm in Penrith area however have the car apart at the moment so cant drive out to see you. If you wanted to come out and take a look let me know.

Hey Kyle, I actually came to look at your R33 towards the end of last year, came with my mate and his white S15 - thanks heaps for the offer!

Did you end up taking the wheel and splash guards off to get the wires through?

[Exodus01]

Ah sweet man, nah didnt have to pull guards off. Theres a grommet you should be able to get to. I've just left my second job so im free weekends now if you need to come out.

Maybe i could come help you when your ready to do it. Either way man

[Lolrick]

I'll definitely take you up on the offer, will pm you - Cheers!

Not sure if he'll come to you - or that you're close enough to him.

Thank you very much for the input, guys - much appreciated! Kyle has kindly offered to help me get through the firewall, and he's only a 20 minute drive down the M4. I did ask a question earlier in the audio thread and got the answers i'm looking for (plus i'm a stringent researcher/googler - I ask all of my stupid questions on the forums) I'm confident with all of the other wiring for the subs. It's not an urgent job either, happy to wait. Cheers!
