Running speaker wire in door

[CBRIDE]

has anyone ran a pair of wire in their front doors? I would like to install my component crossover in the trunk but i have no tweeter wire ran in the door, and after careful investigation it seems to be a PITA to do.

after careful investigation

I think you meant observation but naw man its not hard at all, just run the wires thats it and hide them the best you can

[Stoner51]

naw man I think he meant investigation, like after he investigated it he decided it was a PITA


Your don't seem to post anything constructive. That"s my observation.

Oh to answer the ? If you look at your door you will see A black box in the door jamb that is where you need to run the wire(or at least where the factory wire is run. Or you can drill a hole in the door, grommet and do it that way.

PITA written all over it. The easiest/cleanest way is to remove the door to run your wires through the grommet.

I meant investigation. LOL

To remove the door, do i have to remove the bolts or would i just need to remove the"pin" thats there?

I have to run my wires through the door...I'm not looking forward to it.
I'll try it tomorrow and post pics.

You have to remove the bolts.

Kapone, what happen when the door is closed? does it squeeze the wire?

I like your idea a lot however.

I pulled my speaker wire out the grommet, through the black box containing the wiring, and into the door. It was a PITA, but it makes for a very clean install. You don't even see the wire.

This is how I did mine, a slight pain in the ass but is super clean.



I used 12 gauge wire, overkill I know, but hey I only wanted to do it once and 12 AWG is more then enough for speakers of any size.

Its the same size as the stock wire gromet just above it. So its actually ok.

I like the super clean way of doing it like the post above me. But its is super pain in the ass. (honda built the accord very well)

My method is much faster and if you use wire gromet instead of black tape like me, it actually looks a lot beter. I actually ran it in the door through the stock plug. I just cut a small hole very carfully not too cut any of the other wires, and fished it through there...

well, i only need one tweeter wire in each door. I will re-use the woofer wire thats already there so the hole ill be drilling wont be huge.

but i will tackle this

If your running the wires any way, its beter to just run 2 sets of bigger beter quality wire and just ditch the stock...
