Ok,
I have my 2 Channel Amp, i have run the Power Supply from the Battery to the Boot down the Passenger Side and i have run the Pre-out to the Amp along with new Speaker wires down the center console,
Now how the hell do i get the new speaker wire into the doors??
I have not had a good go at it, but is there a method for achieving this, so im not messing around for hours tomorrow
its the only job left to do, along with mounting the amp.

Phil, there is a unused grommet in the body and a hole handily placed in the door i managed to get a pair of wires through no problem. Give me a call tomorrow if you want some more info.

no easy task, but i managed it with some wd 40 for lubrication The speaker wires i used were not that small, and it was a struggle. the crossovers are in the doors, I wouldn't have got 2 sets of cable through the grommet. Didn't notice any other options, but certainly worth having a damn good look

PCB has a point...many cars have these plugs.If yours doesn't it's not hard to make the holes.
The factory wires run through a rubber jacket from the body to the door...these can be bought at a local parts store cheap.Just a small "generic" boot,you supply the holes.
This has always been easier for me than snaking the wires through an already full boot...looks factory too.
Just another option.

Phil, my only advice would be "don't try to use the factory grommet". You'll never get anything thick-ish into there.
I made a slit in the grommet at both ends, and just ran the cable outside the grommet.
It worked

You try getting the Phoenix gold 10 gauge Zeropoint stuff through those grommets
Yeah, it's a little "unpretty", but as Steve says, wrap stuff in electrical tape and it'll all be good.
