Door Speaker Wiring!
« on: 20 April 2009, 23:23 »
How the heck do you get wires/cables through the door grommet thing!!! ???

Had a look this evening and you unscrew a big nut shaped plastic knob and pull out and there is this multipin connector!
Thought I could just thread wires through the big grommet thing but no way through!

So c'mon folks somebody out there must have  threaded wires through that area somehow!

Help!

Len,
I've not owned (nor even looked at) the grommets of a mk3
Get some pics up and I'll see if I can be of help.

Posted in Mk3 section too and kells has told me what he did.
Basically same as the conclusion I had come to in that you have to bypass the grommet/boot thing and drill seperate holes!
No way through that multipin socket! :sad:

Hopefully Billy can sort me some flexible cable protection!  :wink:

Yea mate its a nightmare when you pull it apart!
I mean I guess there are some spare pins and if you were a whizz with electrics might be able to sort it but for me no way!

prefer to have wires straight from amp to speaker without joints anyway!

Sounds good already with just the Alpines in the dash.
Will be even better tonight when I fix the rear offside tweeter and fit the crossovers!
