Another question ...
Would it be better to run the Amplifiers Power Cable on the left or right side of the car?
(Basically I need to run the PCable away from the Rear Speaker cables to avoid engine audio noises)
I noticed there's alot of cabling on the left, but I havent checked the right side.
I'm guessing the stock speaker cables run through the left...
The problem is, its going to be tricky running it on the right because the power cable goes throught the left side firewall.
run it the same side as the battery, save some money on cable rather than have the cable run around the car that could induce engine noise.
U mean buy shielded cable?
umm, dont remember anyone (reputable supplier) making sheilded power cable...
I may look for some shielded power cable, or at least test my current cable running along the left before I install it properly.
when i said i dont remember anyone making shielded cable, that means that you dont need it even if someone did make it as it doesnt work if someone wanted to make shielded power cable
I see, oh well I'll try to just keep the pcable a fair distance from the speaker wires.
I'm gonna tap into the Accessory Plug (actually its wires, not the plug itself) in the center console, I just gotta figure out how to pull it apart... hopefully its just a few screws here and there.
Concerning the Amp's Earth Cable, is it safe to connect it to the Fuel Pump(?) Earth Bolt on the Euro?
Here is a pic (The bolt is at the end of that upper black cable above the white dome thing)

i'd advise against earthing there, lets says hypothetically you have a fuel leak and you dont actually see it but can smell it, now if the earth comes loose for some reason it will create arching (sparks) that could ignite the fuel vapour...
look for another bolt else where, make sure you sand the metal back also and use a bit of vasoline, it will help to stop rust and it is conductive too so no worries using vaso :)
Vasoline is conductive? Didnt know that.
Yeah I think you have a point - I'll look for another location to be safe.
thx
