Battery to engine compartment route

Post by del_tl1000r » Sun Sep 10, 2017 10:27 am

Hi all. Does anyone know which side of the car the positive wire from the battery to the engine compartment runs? The reason I ask is that I want to run an RCA patch wire from the head unit to the boot and don't want to run it along side the positive wire in case I pick up noise from it.

If its easier to run with the positive cable get a shielded RCA lead,

Pos goes across the back of the car above fuel tank and runs down the nearside along with the brake lines, up into the engine bay.
