[QUOTE="n2audio, post: 8306528, member: 540940"] I think I'm going to have to take my doors off to do the door speaker wiring. There's just no room to work. There are a couple grommets (one on the door, one on the door frame) I think I can get some 12 awg through, but it looks impossible w/o taking the door off. I guess I'll see if I can build a simple frame out of some wood scraps I have laying around that will basically hold the door in place but allow me to move it away from the frame a few inches so I can install some split loom and get some wire through. I considered using the existing wires -- just splicing in somewhere near the kick panel, but those wires are signal only and look to be MAYBE 18 awg, possibly smaller. I'm running a bridged 4 channel capable of over 250x2 for my components and I don't want to bottleneck it through 2' of 18 awg. Besides -- other than building something to support the door while it's off -- I don't think taking the doors off and running my own wires will be much (any?) more difficult/time consuming. Looking at some dimensions for the sub box as well. I think the fiberglass idea is going to happen. Worst case scenario -- it will be a colossal waste of time -- something I specialize in [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
