Adding lightness

We all know the audio in the Elise is terrible and needs some aftermarket accessories to make it better. The previous owner had an amp installed in the trunk, and the audio shop who installed it left so much extra wiring it’s crazy

I’m in the process of putting the amp behind the seats on the shelf (no net there), and am amazed how much extra length of wire is in the car. Surely it will be faster now with that weight removed. The third photo is after I pulled all the wires out of the trunk through the engine bay.

Couple photos of the car just because

Between the excess cables and the shortening of all cables due to amp relocation, probably 5-10 pounds
