Ok, I read on here a suggestion about running new speaker wire.

Take the NEW wire and insert into the hole in the door (with door panel off) where the new front / rear speakers are going to go. Tape it to the CURRENT stock speaker wire. Lube it up with some WD40 or whatever you choose. Then just pull it through.

Would this eliminate the PITA of trying to fish the wire through that darn door boot etc?

Anyone tried it and ran into some problems etc?

Thanks

 

That is one way to do it...fine if you really don't care to leave the stock wiring in ever (ie. never go back to stock...like when you sell the car). I personally like to leave the stock wiring intact so I can go back to stock.

They do make a specific wire lubricant for running wiring thru walls and conduits (house wiring). I think it would be the best choice for automotive wiring too. It doesn't contain chemicals which would eat away at the wiring. I would think any Home Depot / Lowes / etc...would carry it.

 

Yeah I have seen that stuff. I will see if they are open today. I cannot go a day without music and with three kids I cannot get it all donein one day.
So today I am going to run wires and not attatch them to anything...kinda shitty but don't have much if a choice.

thanks for the advice!
