Only problem is i have them three wires hanging in the rear which isnt to bad i spose...

Then the excess cable is sitting under the rear seat...

Which then leads to finished job...

Tidy work soo far mate. Used to have that sub and its mint.
If you have excess cable should try tucking it under the plastic by the door/carpet edge all the way to the corner the subs at. But like I said nice work mate. The red is deff different but not too much imo

Looking good mate! I've got a 1.4 myself. However, there's one little thing I'm a bit unsure of, the wiring going to the sub. I've got the same sub as you and in the same place. Best way to wire it is out the back of the stereo, behind the glovebox and along under the plastic kick plates on the passenger side. Takes less than two minutes to do and don't have to worry about catching the wires. Can get a picture up if you like?

Yeah please mate if you could, i had to bridge the wires from the sub tho so i had only a little amount i could put the wires, plus dont think i have the sub wire long enough to run around the back of the glove box.

When you get a picture ill look at getting it done with a longer cable.

Thanks very much.

The red is a little much to be honest i did it just to see what it was like, im gonna look for all new black ones i think then see about carbon wrap some little parts.

Great mod mate must sound naughty haha
Im contemplating whether to upgrade the 6x9's in my boot shelf which came with the car or go for the sub and lose out slightly on bootspace.

Also off topic here but what do youse get on a fulltabk on your 1.4's, im currently getting 285/290 and thats with a mixed driving style and local city, a/b roads mainly.

Here's the pictures you asked for and explaining where I was when I took the picture for reference.

Taken from front passenger seat and that's the bottom of the seat belt where the wires are

Taken from outside the car under the passenger side rear seat. Bottom of the seat is pulled forward.

The only part of the wires which are visible in my car are at the bottom of the passenger seat belt which is out the way anyway. Any questions or more pictures wanted just ask!
