Hi everybody!

I came to hook up my amp and sub from my escort into my '01 Fabia today, but could find no where at all to run the live wire from the battery to the boot. I really don't fancy running it underneath the car. :S

I've hunted the forums and found a couple, but they weren't for the Fabia and wasn't sure if it would apply.

Any ideas? Pictures would also be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Rob

take the air filter housing out and down the back behind the abs module is a grommet that comes out just under the glovebox, or you can use the grommet under the plastic covering for the wipers where the lhd bonnet release cable should go through

You are a god. Thanks a lot mate. After much fighting, I got it through the grommet behind the glovebox.

Now for the rest of the wiring. How do you take off the trim?

Thanks again,

Rob

you dont need to remove the teim just push it under the trim

I'll give it a go.

Thanks

I think my amp is gone though. Every time a bass note kicks in, protection light comes on. Any ideas on that one?

Check the sub's earth, scrape some paint off if necessary.

Anyone got a pic of this? Im struggling to see a suitable place to feed wire from battery to inside of car..

Hi guys!

 

Over a year old thread revival.

Well, here goes nothing.

 

So, I'm figuring out how to install a active subwoofer (with built-in amp) under passenger seat on my Fabia Comfort Combi anno 2003. I've read lots about the glove box, so I decided to give it a go. My first problem was that three out of the five Torx screws that holds the glovebox is in a kind of narrow area, where it's hard to get a full-length driver in there. I then remembered that I have a piece of small sockets. I put a 6½ mm socket on a 1/4" ratchet on which the T20 bit fitted very well. Problem number one solved.

 

Anyways. The glove compartment came down and to be honest at first I was a bit scared that I would get problems putting it back in there. Also, I got worried that I would somehow short circuit the airbag controller so that a full blast airbag would blow into my head while sitting there, inspecting the behind. Anyways, I somehow managed to keep my calm.

 

However, I couldn't find some cable-ready hole. The nearest I could get was a piece of the "mud carpet" where there was a hole, and it looked like a screw was sitting there from, screwed in from the engine compartment side. I could just see it's sharp bottom, plus some rubber padding thing around it. Is this what everyone's talking about? Am I supposed to unscrew this from the engine bay side, and then pull cables through the hole? In that case I should better go my nearest DIY garage where there's a lift, becuase this hole was so deep down so that I could never ever possible reach the screw from the upper side of the boot.

 

Thanks in advance for all input on this.
