Just a quick video I did while Installing subs on an 07 Rabbit! If you guys have any questions post them in the comments below! Please like and subscribe!
As many others have stated, this is a poor way to run the power wire. If you look under the dash next to the clutch pedal, there is a rather large rubber plug you can easily run the wire through. Just use a coat hanger and some tape to guide it through. I made this video 6 plus years ago and it seemed like a good idea at the time, I took time to insulate the wire to make sure it would not rub through but it would easily rub through if you ran it carelessly and through the rubber plug in the firewall is a much better/easier way to run it.
Good vid, BUT, woulda run the power through the main harness boot through the firewall behind the battery, same way I have the vaccum line for the boost gauge ran
ya I agree, I didnt know about that spot 6 plus years ago when I made this video
WHY the hell didnt you use the original wiring hole left of the speeder pedal? much easyer and better , that solution for power cable is shit sorry
Schooloftech thanks for the advice, I agree that the way I ran the power wire wasnt the best way to do it, but for a small setup using a smaller gauge power wire it was quick and simple.
Another way is to remove the left wiper blade and feed it up across the screen, wrap it around the aerial and in through the rear wiper hole. It can also double for a tow rope.
@@TheRollingTimesit will burn down. Remove quick. The metal will cut true the kabel. And make connection….
Perfect video explained on every step 👍 thanks
Jordan Pimm Thanks Please Subscribe if it helped!
The Rolling Times my bad had commented with the wrong acct... but yeah for 6ga and below you can run thru the firewall grommet behind battery box kind of hidden but easier on the bad door harnesses this gen was plagued with. The rest is nice tho
I did a sub install on my MK5 Jetta and it worked perfect. Thanks
Do you have factory radio or after market?
Please for the love of god never run your power like this! Run thru the firewall. If you plan on running your power like this please please please take it to someone that knows what the hell they are doing!!!
While i agree the firewall is a better option, there was nothing wrong with the way i ran the power wire. It was a small enough gauge that it fit through. Its not going to rub through anywhere.
Also if you know what you are doing why are you watching a video on how to do it?
I watch videos like this to steer people away from fire hazards like this. Power wire should NEVER be ran thru the door area. If anyone that runs the same organization that I do seen this video it would get roasted to the point that comments were turned off 🤣. I have 2 runs of 2/0 ran thru the firewall. If that fit the little ass wire you ran would easily fit and be 100% safer. Videos that give horrible advice like this should be illegal and you should be liable for damages to everyone that followed your advice on it 🤣🤣🤣
@@MrCkyfreak24 i agree the firewall would be a better option however there was no fire hazard with the way I ran it
@@TheRollingTimes people really be overreacting
Well Done. Nice vid
Hi, can i connect the sub to my oem radio?
There is a way to do it but it involves wiring a device to your factory speaker wiring to convert to rca.
Great video! it helped me so I gave you a sub!
Were do u plug your rca wire into
Between the head unit and the amp. Although if you can't work that out for yourself, you probably shouldn't be attempting this install.
@@dunebasher1971 whats a head unit
What's the best way to run the remote wire and RCAs under the glove box and behind the radio?
Noah Staupe yeah you can pull carpet up or door trim pieces, i always run remote and rcas seperate than power wire
The Rolling Times but like behind the radio itself, is there a good spot to run it back there?
its been awhile since ive done it. I believe I ran them back and down towards the bottom of glove box and tucked them up in the plastics for the blower motor and ran them across to the bottom door trim. sorry if that doesnt make sense
The Rolling Times that actually helped a lot, thank you for the input and the informative video!!
Glad I could help, it would mean a lot if you could subscribe and check out some of my other videos!
Hi mate I did the way you for my edge sub and I connected the live to the battery sparked and have nothing since fuses aren’t blown any idea
joshua simmonds is the remote wire getting signal?
The Rolling Times how can I tell thanks
Take off both leads to ye battery wait about 2-5 minutes and put on positive then speaker wire to positive, then connect the ground to the battery
What do I connect my remote wire to ??
Remote wire goes from normally a blue wire labeled remote on back of headunit to an amplifier for subs
Dang doubt ill get 0awg through that way
Thank,,,,,,
Are you with original radio?
Pretty sure he is. If you are you just need to buy line output converter, hook that up to your rear door speaker (either side works) basically what it does is convert the normal wire to rca
So then you plug your rca cable into the amp as input
Please remove the
Plus there.
It’s going true the firewall. Rubber. Next to clutch.
You will burn it down !
