Running audio wire thrue drivers door

Hello. I`am running an audio wires to my new speakers, i have already run a wire to front passenger door, but i can not get how to bring a wire to a drivers door, cause there are two terminals and no spare place for a wire.
I have founded that people drill terminals in spare/no used pins and run cables thrue this holes. I think that i can drill a hole in a terminal that plugs into the door (outer side), but what to do with a terminal that is in a door how to approach to it...

Solved the problem!

I have removed the grommet form the side of the car body and door. Removed two mama terminlas from the door side, and easily removed the papa terminal from the door. After i pulled it out of the door thrue the hole where speaker is.
I have drilled thrue the blue terminal, then i made a search for an old blade screwdriver. With a help of a gas burner i have made it red-hotm and cuted the square port. After with a help of a broach file i have got it into the shape.
The same was done with a white terminal, where two first terminals are plugged.
The photos of process.







Sorry, i have forgotten to make a photo of how it was after broach file

p.s. sorry for my Russian English

Thanks. Btw while installing new tweeters, i have checked the resistance of wires that were with new tweetrs + wires on a new tweeters. The resistance was 3.8 Om, i have resoldered tweeters with my Daxx s32 wire and the new resistance now is 3.6 Om.
Is that a good advance or it is usless ?

You could have used the existing wires with little or no discernible difference. You made a great effort, but in the end, if you had equalized or distributed the signal inside the car, you could have just used the stock (existing) wiring and it would have been fine.
