Hey guys.

I had my head unit fitted into my Corsa C and my 6x9's fitted into my parcel shelf, just subs and amp to go.

But the guy who was fitting it said that to get the wires to the car battery for the subs and amp a hole needs to be drilled in the front of the car eg in the wing for this as there is no way the wires can get thru??

Is this right?

How did you all fit yours?

Also can the 6x9's run off the head unit if i decide i dont want my subs and amp no more as cant get to wires of standard rear speakers easily.

Thought i'd check with the experts! lol

Cheers!

Hey you!

Not been online for ages so dont take it personally! lol I sold V GAP last aug well part ex'd her for and MG ZR - hated that so part ex'd that for a 02 plate Corsa SRi! (Gotta thinkof new name now as not Gap Girl anymore!)

I knew there was a grommet on my old corsa - corsa b - but was told corsa c's were diff.

So there is a grommet nr the washer bottle ya?

Cheers!

And what about the rear speaker wires? How the hell do i get to them?

Yup there's still a grommit there, behind the glovebox

Getting 0ga cable though was fun though...

Oooh matron...

Um, no problems As I say though, if you're having bigger than 4ga cables it's a bit of a tight squeeze.
