Can anyone help me, i jus got my sub n amp n want to install it in my corsa c SXi. thing is i cant find where to start. can sum1 give me a run down or step by step for this car. i.e how to run the wires and where?? especially the RCA down the middle of the car and also the amp power onto the battery. Please help need my system up and runnin n cant afford the audio shop to do it. plus i see a lot of star key bolts, guess this means i need a star key set.

you only need one star bit mate which you can pick up from halfords or wherever for a few quid. i THINK its a T20??? dont take my word for that tho cos i cant remember. if ur really stuck i'll go outside to my car and see which size one it is.
run cables through the plastic boards down the sides of the car. power cables with the car loom (think thats left) and speaker cables down the empty side. minimises interference that way 
anything else u wanna know mate.......?

ok just been out and checked for ya mate.....
you need a T20 star bit socket
run the power cables down the passenger side
run the rca's and speaker cables down the drivers side
i drilled a small hole into the boot floor to make an earthing point
power cable for amp can be brought into car by....
1) drilling your own hole in the bulk head and running it through that with a grommet
2) feeding the power cable through the grommet for your rear washer hose (this is just behind the battery when your in the engine bay)
i did number 2 cos didnt wanna drill any holes on bulkhead
if you use your star socket to undo the glove box screws (two at top when you open it, and two at bottom with it closed) then you can feed ur wires up to the back of the head unit very easily. then replace the glovebox when ur done
that all u need dude?
