Wiring Speakers off amp

[newtothis86 10+ year member]

Im trying to hook up my new component speakers and running them off an amp means running wires through the boot in the door. This boot has an l shape and looks nearly impossible to get through. Can I use the original wires? If not any ideas as to how I can get through the L shaped boot.

Cheers

What car? Can't be impossible if the factory wires are run

Theres alwaysa way to run new speaker lines. I wouldnt reccomend reusing stock wiring for anything more than deck power.

its a 98 accord. Anyone ever done this on an accord. While its true that the stock wires got through there...I wonder/worry that I might have to take the door off and take that L shape out of it. Does this seem way too difficult?

Take a quick picture of it for me.

Most rubber boots can be removed and the wire fed through then the boot is replaced. Some can even be ran without removing or by using a snake. Some have boots in between plastic plugs, sometimes you can drill a hole through the plugs. If you cant drill a hole through the plugs, the next best solution is to drill a hole in the door and in the car, use grommets on each. Protect the speaker line very well and make it look stock , and run it next to the boot.

While I have seen them, I dont remember them, because I havent ran into this specific issue. So a picture would help me better answer your question.
