Progress thread: Frank's Insignia

[zzattack]

Good call raimon, been reading there for a bit but am liking this place a tad more honestly.
Was planning to fit the front fogs today but needed the car for an errand in the afternoon so I postponed that till Thursday (public holiday) instead.

Instead I did some cabling preparations for my equalizer and RCA cables for the monoblocks that I'll be fitting soonish.

Took out the glove compartment and found that it won't be possible cut out a slot for the whole thing because the a/c motor is right behind it. I did find some empty space next to where a hump holding up the glove box. Little to the right of that seemed to have ample space for the wires to go so I drilled a 28mm hole for the biggest grommet I could find. Figured that'd be plenty wide but turned out to be quite tight after all. With a little lubricant the last RCA was pushed through eventually.

Four pairs of cables, one input that'll come from the headunit once I buy one. Two more for the fronts and rears and last one for the subs. Double shielded because my last install suffered from alternator whine because the cheapo RCA's literally picked up anything.


They barely fit through the grommet.. Also taped the loom I made for the +12V/Remote/Ground connections.



All done. Box is held in place with some outdoor-use velcro tape, should be good for a while Will run the cables to the trunk sometime soon.
