I am running fresh 18ga wire from my amp to my speakers. the rear speakers are no problem. I just can't figure out to wire the front ones....? how do you get it through to the door????

I ran 16 guage wire for my four spkrs and got it thru the rubber boot on all four doors!
Your speaker is out right?
Try this:
* Pop the rubber boots out of the hole on each side of the door jam so the boot's just hanging there, with the existing wires running through.
* Now start feeding the wire from the empty spkr hole to the hole where the boot goes. Now you can push the wire thru the boot. (I use a water-based silicone lube to assist in getting the wires thru).
* Now feed the wire thru the hole going into the car. You will need a long pair of hemos (or something) to grab the wires because they will be way up there.
* Once you have hold of the wire just pull into the car and back to your amps or where ever.
* Just snap the rubber boots back into place in the door when you're done pulling enough wire.
Hope this helps!

the problem is though, there is a harness at the end where all the wires connect. if i take the boot off, the harness is still in the way. can i remove the harness somehow? i will get a picture today. but anyway, do i have to drill through the harness? i think there is a harness on the car side too, but i haven't see it yet. i'll feel for it....
