Where to put the power cable from a "subwoofer"

Post by Skillerns »

Hello!

Im from sweden but no swedish forum is active enough to let my topics get answered, so im hoping for a better outcome here!

Okay so i have recently become a proud owner of the Peugeot 206 cc car, so far it is a lovely car, some fixes here and there since first there was a squeeking sound from the clutch which was easy to fix, and a noice from the motor which i now also have fixed..but..im not only fixing problems, im adding stuff to it for more fun.

What im doing right now is fixing a new sound system in the car, both front and back speakers have been changed now and the last thing im adding is a subwoofer. I have heard though that a subwoofer is not good to ahve in the trunk, but i want to at least try it out before putting it in the rear seat and here is my questions:

1: Where can i pull my RCA and power cable through the rear panel in the trunk to ahve the cable coming into the car? There are alot of pumps there for the roof and all that but i can't seem to find a same spot to pull the cables through.

2: And my second and last question so far. When i manage to pull the cables into the car, they ofc needs to be pulled out to the motor and the battery, but i've looked all over there and i can't manage to find a hole for the power cable to be pulled through, so i can access the battery. I found i "hole" under the panel by the passanger seat, there is a cable running through a hole there but with some sticky mass covering it up, is this the only place or is there any better spot to pull it through?

Overall: I would like to get information about how and where i can pull my power cable and my RCA cable from the subwoofer in my trunk. The best way possible, im looking and i tend to find forums that is very old so the pictures are gone. And im totaly new at this so i don't want to make any mistakes. And i wanted a live topic with up to date answers so, hope that is okay :)

Very thankful for the answers!

Welcome to the CC forum.

Your best bet would be to ask on 206info.co.uk under their ICE section .. they should be able to help with the front from of the cabin and through to the engine compartment .. someone there may have put one in a CC and help with the rear too.

Your main problem will be the lack of space as the roof folds into the trunk and so needs a lot .. hence the blind .. that is your upper height limit! I have read that some may have used the "box" under the boot floor ... but check again for yourself.

I have actually already bought the right sub that suits the car, not designed for it but it fits well under the blind when the roof is down. Ill follow your advice and post this in the other section, thanks :)
