Drivers side where all the main wires go into the car from the engine bay, put it through the gromet there and run it down the right hand side of the car.

it's passenger side. There's a rubber grommit behind the plastic shelf. It's a bit difficult to feed it through, I used a screwdriver to push the wire through to the other side, it helped a little

Just go outside to your car, have a look behind the shelf on the passenger side. It's a rubber hole in the bulkhead. You can't miss it

Also, try to hide your wiring, it looks nicer, from the grommet, put it under the carpet at your passengers feet, then along the passenger side sill, under the rear-quarter door card carpet and into the boot. Also a good place to install your earth is drill a hole in the boot under the carpet and screw your earth wire down there.

just means your either turning the bass up to high or playing it too loud. Just protects the sub. Try adjusting the settings for the bass.

See if the settings on the amp are up too high. Try turning the "gain" down.

and why would you do that when you can undo a seatbelt anchor bolt and fix the earth to that as you cant see the wire and you are not drilling holes into the boot floor which as you will know is a common place to rot in corsa`s so y help it rot by drilling holes where the wet can get in ????

ya do make me giggle sometimes Mr Root lol

It's not broken, it drives, it just has piss-poor mpg and a whistle from the inlet.

Anyway I didn't know about attaching to the seatbelt anchor or whatever, else I'd have said that. My drill work hasn't begun to rot though, that's why I suggested
