How to Wire Front Door Speakers?

[mfmbcpman 10+ year member]

I am installing new speakers in my 93 Camry connected to an amp. I don't know how to connect the two together. The stock was a 6 1/2" with a tweeter above with separate wire plugs. Is there anyway to run the speaker wire between the door and the cabin? How do I do this?

Run it just like the factory wire is ran?

I ran mine through the little rubber "accordian" that bridges the door/cabin. No way for a wire to get pinched or cut accidentally //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

You have to run the wire into the door....

I know but it seems impossible to get it through. The hole is basically filled. How can I get it through?

It's much easier if you attach the end of the wire to a coat hangar or something sturdy, and push it gently through the existing rubber grommet.

Be lucky it's not like my Civic. The rubber boots cover a plug, not just a bundle of wires in my car. I had to take the doors off and drill a hole for the speaker wire. It was a nightmare.

What I do is get a very pointy flat head, and then pry both sides of the grommet off.

Push the wire through the hole from inside your cabin outside, then push the wire down the tube, then pull it through, then put it in your door and push the grommets back in... you're done.

Yeah it is I basically cut mine so I could fit a finger in there to guide the wires through //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/cool.gif.3bcaf8f141236c00f8044d07150e34f7.gif

Mine was like that too inside the door but I was able to get it through the grommet in the cabin. Then I just ran it right accross

It looks like you ran the wire way higher than the existing grommet boot below.
