Default Install Amp Wiring Kit

Hi,

I've upgraded the speakers in my MY03 Sti, thanks to the great guides on here. I've got an amp and sub to fit, but I'm struggling to find a guide where to route the wires etc. Looks like chiark had one but his site is down.

Does anyone know where to find a good guide, preferably with pictures etc?

Thanks

its quite simple

run the main live with the fuse down the passenger side with the blue wire which goes in to ur head unit

then the RCA cables with red and white ends go down the middle of ur car or i put mine down the drivers side

if u run RCA and power cables together u will get interferance

then just run the earth the black one to the car to ground it

Errrr...... I got as far as mapping out the wires in my head before I realised that half a day wouldn't be enough to get 'all' the wires layed in....

A job I've postponed till Sunday now.... so watch this space....
