That Saxo doesn't actually look THAT bad.
Not that I can see what damage has been done under the bonnet / behind the bumper, but it looks like a couple new lights, new bonnet, new bumper, maybe the front side panels replaced.
Probably would need a lot of pulling out though.
Dunno really.

nah the crumple zones wouldve been affected by the looks of it. thats not quite so simple.

  • U need to cut the power cable at a point where u want the inline fuse.
  • Connect 1 end to the battery terminal run it threw the fuse to the amp.
  • Earth Cable needs to goto a Earthing point in ur car(Bare Metal Area)
  • The RCA(Phono) Cable will need to be plugged into the sub preout in the back off your head unit and run to the Amp.
  • Remote Turn on cable will also need to run from the back of the Headunit into the amp
  • Speaker Cable goes between the Sub and Amp
Not Sure if ive missed anything but im going to have to do it all again sum time, mayb next week so ill take pics if u want?

Thanks for adding me Floyd i'll explain here as ill be working on the car today.
I have 3 Subs 1 Amp 1000W it is a four channel amp but i only want two subs connected at the moment.

This is how my setup is done. I'll take pictures later...

BLUE POWER CABLE - Fed through the front of the car through a seal cut with fuse applied and connected to + on my battery.
GREY/WHITE GROUND Cable - Applied to a bolt in the boot which has then been tightened.
SMALL BLUE CABLE - Running from my head unit down into the boot connected to REM on my amp.

This is the part i don't get. I have the RCA (Two thick grey cables with a red and white plug) that run from SUB on my head unit into Channel 1 (Red) and Channel 2 (White) and another two the same but the wire is orange with the exact same plugs coming form two plugs on my head unit. Im not sure if these are done right as using my subs in the new car sounds really bad if they are turned up it also turns up bass on my 6x9s in the front of the car, they vibrate way to much for some reason and just sound complete **** tbh which never happened in my old saxo. I'll take some pictures of my setup when it gets abit lighter.

All wires run directly though the car down the middle past the passenger seat (for now) under my back seat then into the boot. I did notice a small hole going through my power cable just before it connects to the amp so i'll just be cutting that down and re-fitting it.

GND is Ground/Earth, which shud be a black wire so guessing if u dont have a PWR or Power anywheere it must be B+ but ive never seen an amp with B+ on it...

I assume it stands for Battery + but just taking a guess mine says "BAT". Just brought AUX cables for my MP3 player that go into my head unit to save me burning cds all the time.
