[QUOTE="HardofWhoring, post: 8841372, member: 674149"] If you're going to run an amp, then run new wire. For the door boots, you have all sorts of options. You can use a coat hanger to get the bend right, or even use the factory wiring you won't use any more. You can tie a string to a nut and use a magnet /magnet stick so you have anything that feeds through that you can connect your speaker wire too. hen to that you connect your speaker wire. You can zip tie it, solder it, heat shrink, etc.. anything to connect it so you can pull through the new wire. Wrap something like tape or heat shrink around the end of the new wire, smooth out the new edge of the wire so it doesn't snag. Use the same dialectic grease that you use on the lugs/connectors to keep them from getting moisture, and use that to lube up the outside of the new speaker wire, and it will pull right through. Figure out your technique for the first one, and the rest will just take a few minutes. I know on my pickup, those door boots pop right out. You can feed through em, then pop em back in. [/QUOTE]
