the speaker wires come into the back of the ICC through the multipin self aligning connecter (100 odd pins iirc). Easier to run your own wires as there isnt anywhere you can get the the speaker wires in the dash without removing it.

i attempted to run my own speaker cable for the front speakers but found it near impossible to get it to run through the door gromit with the rest of the wires. im going to have another go tomorrow but from memory the other side just runs behind the glovebox somewhere, has anyone done this??

PhantomLord,

Bean there done that.......

The issue is gaining access to the front speaker wiring. They are located behind the driver and passenger kick panels.

Send me a PM with you email address and will send you some more information.

8G speaker cable, 3 runs for Focal KP3's

Run the power seperate to the RCA's, to neaten things up you will probably find it easier to run the remote turn on wire with the RCA's, taped together every 40cm or so. With the earth keep it as short as possible and rub back any paint where you screw it into metal :wink:
