Speaker Install - Front Doors Gtst 4 Door Sedan

[bradmax]

I have installed everything (new head unit, sub, amps, rear speakers, cables etc) except my new speakers in the two front doors. Followed the other threads and can drop the trims np but when it comes to running the after market cables from the cabin to the doors........... well it is well pretty f#$%ing difficult. No hand space, can't get the rachet onto the bolt blah blah blah.

Has anyone come across this before and can provide any guidance? Thinking of giving up and going to Ryda (NSW) as it seems so damn hard - wasted heaps on time today on this.

Cheers in advance...

Its a little bit difficult, but not that impossible.

Are you running the wire from inside the cabin to the door or from the door into the cabin. I personally find the later a bit easier.

Going from door into cabin

--------------------------------

What you want is a small length of metal cloth hanger wire. Then you tape that to the speaker cable you want to run, so it can poke through the rubber grommet. You may also want to use a little bit of wd40 to coat the speaker cable so it can be pulled through a little bit easier. Then you simply poke the metal wire through the door grommet, then the cabin grommet and try to push it through and catch the other end in the cabin.

Going from cabin into door

-------------------------------

You will do the same as if you are going from door into cabin, except instead of the speaker cable, you will use a piece of string. Once you caught the string, you will tape that string to the speaker cable, and pull the string to feed the speaker cable through from cabin into door.

Make Sense? I hope so. I know for the R32s, it is a little difficult due to the placement of the door grommet. you should bend the metal wire just a little bit, so it is easier to catch.
