The item in my kit

I bought H YANKA SODA-10ASW Powered Subwoofer as part of my camper van equipment.

The H YANKA subwoofer is part of my purchased audio equipment. The wiring photographs here show my actual cable-routing work on the van, including the point where several device routes enter the interior.

Where it fits my build

On Day 104 I pulled the roof wiring through the PVC route with fish tape and brought the cable groups into the van. I fitted plastic trim around the roof opening where the wires passed through.

I also finished the remaining light-wire connections, fitted the junction-box covers, joined the remaining PVC sections and tightened the metal ties around the route.

My build notes

This stage pulled together several earlier sessions of drilling boxes, fitting glands and arranging the roof hardware. The final cable entry was the point where all those separate roof routes met.

My notes show how much of the work was physical organization: pulling cables, keeping entry points accessible and closing boxes after the connections were finished.

The route into the van was a layout problem as much as a wiring task.
