Wiring amp for tower speakers on C180 2012

[pat_180SP]

I'm attempting to wire the power cables from the battery to my amp (which is also under the glove box). I am connecting tower speakers, so I need both sound AND power cables to run front to back on the sides.

I figured that running both in the same location is not recommended in order to avoid feedback..

Any idea of a second location where I could wire power cables? (those being much bigger than sound cables) My sound wiring is running next to the black cable which is used for the stock remote and the stock rear speaker on the passenger side (there seems to be channel for cables there - but no room for power cables).

I ran my speaker wiring just like you described in the factory locations. I ran the power wire down the side also but at the bottom of the cavity. So there is a good 12" or more separation between them and no feedback.

It worked - thanks.

No problem glad it worked out for you

I couldn't figure out where was the remote cable on the back of our head unit (usually blue), so I had to run a short wire from the 12V power inlet to the remote inlet on the amp (which I have to disconnect manually in order to shut it off) in order for it to turn on..

Can anyone help me out finding the remote wire / or let me know what you have done to make yours work?
