Hi!
I'm going to put in an amp and a sub, and I'm planning to have them in the trunk. This means that i have to run all my cables/wires from the head unit and the speakers from the front to the trunk. Where do i put them? Should I run all the wires in the sides at the floor or should i run the speaker wires in the roof and the power wires in the floor sides? How did you do it? Which way is the best? //Johan |

Are you sure that the OEM antenna cable is connected in the back? There's really no reason anyone would change them around, unless they were moving the antenna all together but still, it should work just fine. What kid of head unit are you using? If it's Alpine, it might not be the antenna, it's the deck itself; they're kind of notorious for having weak signal receivers. Make sure the antenna's connected in the first place though before you go running a bunch of wires you don't need to for it - saves ya some time

It seems to have been taped to the contact instead of using the proper contact and not soldered as it should bee...i have to fix this ASAP! btw, got a "AUX in" cable from german ebay that fits to my head unit, now I can connect my iPod in a proper way....I love it!
