Roof radio install!
I am changing my radio install from in the dash to the roof in a housing so I can add done more speakers. My question is for you guys that have put radios on the roof, where did you run your wires? I want the as out of sight as possible. I have a battery in my dash that I will be getting power from. Also going to probably put an amp in the system so I will be running +, -, rca plugs, remote wire and a second set of rca plugs for a mp3 plug mounted in the dash.
Just tring to get ideas of what other people done. Thanks |

Re: Roof radio install!
I have lights that are mounted on my roof that I ran the wires inside my roof supports. Another idea is to use wire loom to cover the wire and then run it up on the outside of the roof supports.

Re: Roof radio install!
I would think best is through the roof supports. I have done this on several carts.
Drill a hole on the cart side of support and feed it up to the top. Drill a hole through side of cart for them to go through. I have even let them come out the bottom and go under the cart. Just a matter of what you are looking for.It is a lot easier if you take the supports off the cart to run the wires also.   |

Re: Roof radio install!
Thanks for the info guys. I was able to get them through the guides. It was a tuff job but was able to get all those wires in there.

Re: Roof radio install!
Here are a few pics of the cabling running through my roof supports. I have a powered antenna, antenna for the alarm, two rear speakers, brake, turn and running lights. So there are about 15 wires all together and you can't see any of them but you have to get creative.
