passenger side, there is a big fat loom that goes into the car near the pollen filter. You can push a decent amp cable through there without any drilling. Pops out passenger footwell.

I'll get some pictures tommorow  :y

Good man, cheers  :y

Thanks for all your replies!

As regards running a power cable from the battery...is there any grommets that can be used to get the cable into the car or is it going to require drilling, anybody any experience of doing this? Also anybody have any experience of fitting uprated speakers? Cheers

Sorry after reading what I wrote it does make me sound like a bit of an idiot...I mean an earthing point by 1 of the rear lights,as this is the area I have used in my Ibiza and Astra.

I know exactly what you mean, and the earthing point by the rear lights ON ANY CAR is just plain dangerous and should not be used. I have a website with lots of pictures of installs such as this where the cars have gone up in smoke !!

If you are keen to learn about how to fit car audio properly, you could do a lot worse than to search for a Haynes manual on In Car Entertainment, as it gives a good head start on how to fit stuff, and certainly how to find and use a suitable earth point in the car.

Cheers for the heads up...I thought I was doing quite well with my DIY jobs lol. Might see if I can pick up said manual, as I'm on a bit of a budget.

Hi all, new to the board here...got myself a 1999 Omega 2.5 v6 on Friday (pics will follow soon!) and was just wondering has anybody got experience of fitting newer speakers/subs/amps to an Omega? I have a 12" Vibe sub & amp lying in the garage which I have thought about wiring up to the standard HU by means of a phono convertor...just wondering how easy/hard it is to run a power cable from the battery into the car - routing wires from the back of the HU to the boot...Im guessing I could just use 1 of the rear lights for a ground for the amp...but then I was also thinking of getting a new HU and then getting better speakers...any advice at all on what to do would be greatly appreciated, cheers!

Chris

Hello there,

Thought I would introduce myself in the proper way! My names Chris, I live in Northern Ireland, and recently purchased a 1999 Omega, 2.5 v6 CD, in silver, with 102k miles on it. The care is completely standard apart from having a set of the 5 spoke mv6 alloys on it (which I need a set of centre caps for - what diameter are they??) I needed a car to get me to and from work and didnt have a lot of money to spend, and didnt really want to go for a small runaround, so came across the omega and it was the right price, and having always loved them decided to go for it, and I have to say I love it! The car is in really good condition (I'll have to get some pictures up!) so only things im really thinking of doing are sorting the sound system out, colour coding it, window tints, maybe a bit of lowering, and maybe (maybe) a wheel refurb in a different colour.

Anyway just thought I would introduce myself in the appropriate section and just let yas know that il probably be asking lots of questions about the car over the next while - so I hope yas dont mind helping!

Cheers,
Chris.

(ps any help on the centre caps would be greatly appreciated - thanks!)
