No, no harness. I'll just run speaker wires from the joint in the OE loom near the front door to the Cleansweep, RCAs from the Cleansweep to the amp, then more speaker wires from the amp back to the speakers. Power wires I'll sort out direct from the battery in the boot,

I would think 3mm will be too thin - I have a sheet of 6mm and I'm hoping that will be about enough. I'm not sure how long the threads are on the OE speaker mounting bolts, I may be able to use 9 or 12mm which would be better.

I wondered the same - I think you could probably get away with the diameter, it's the mounting depth that's going to be an issue.

It's a pet hate of mine, if I'm desperately looking for an answer on the internet, to find a forum thread by someone who had the exact same issue and never came back with an answer. I'll be back

A lot less than some others!
Comps £100
Subs £100 each
Adaptors £20 each
Amp £170
Cleansweep £180
Wires etc £40
So £750 give or take...
easily the most I've spent on any install, and I've done quite a few!
The other option was to recode the HU, do without the Cleansweep and use a JL amp. That was £100ish for coding and a smidge over £200 for the smallest JL amp, the JX360/4 - which TBH I didn't feel was powerful enough to drive the subs properly, it was only 70WRMS per channel, and the subs are rated at 100.
