Hey guys, i know most of you that run an amp, run the live wire through the bulk head using the rubber grommit thats there, and then down the drivers side.
What i would like to know is, how much room is there down the side trim?
Im currently using 0guage live in my other car, and would like to transfer it all to my E30, have i got enough room?
would i be better relocating the battery into the boot insted?
Cheers,
Raj

Should be room, or you could run it under the carpet near the side 
I'm thinking of fitting 2 batteries on mine, 1 at the front and 1 at the back. 1 to run the car and 1 to run the I.C.E

I thought of running a split charging system, even got the kit and battery, and i might just possibly do it.

Nothing at the moment, stripped it all out.
Wasn't running much but hope to change that
Had Vibe SEK50's in the rear with tweeters and kickers up front. DB Audio 1000WRMS 12" sub powered by a Vibe amp, sounded amazing
Possibly looking to run two 12" subs now and a couple of extra amps.

No sound deadning, tbh, you don't really need it. The only area that needs attention is the bootlid and number plate area.
For the new project, i'm just going to do the bootlid area including inside the boot as that's where the main problem with vibration is
