Re-wiring Factory wires

larger wire size means lower resistance which yields lower voltage drop which means more power to your speakers. keep wires as short as possible - or up-size for longer runs.
re-wiring door speakers is just time consuming - probably 30 min. each door if everything goes well and you've done doors before. double that for a learning curve. you need to zip tie the new wire to factory wiring every 6-8". have plenty of zip ties on hand.

you can route speaker wiring down each side. speaker wires aren't as sensitive to electrical noise in a car. i usually route RCA cables down the middle, but you won't get noise induced in RCA cables either.

^This...you are definitely a perfectionist based on your pics...nice job.

I find the biggest pain in the *** when running new speaker wires into the doors is getting that much thicker wire through the boot between the door and the chassis...my trick has been to use a flexible nylon fish tape and a lot of spray silicone...makes it slide right through without having to pop out the boots.

nylon fish tape is just nylon string that you use to fish the wire thru right?..what if im using the old factory wire as the fish and tie my new wire to it and just pull the factory wire to run my new wire

Actually no, it looks like an oversized zip tie, just longer and stiffer but it's nylon so it won't scratch surfaces and is really thin so you can fish wire pretty much anywhere.
