wiring the doors of a 4th gen...difficult?

How difficult is it to run speaker wire through the doors to the front speakres from an amp in the rear of the car? Is it suggested? Or should one just stick with the oem wiring?

Not difficult at all. All you do is take the door panel off and feed the wiring thru the rubber grommet in between the door jamb. Then run the wiring underneath the door sills along the side of the car to the trunk, and your done!

Ok, I was just finding out, because I hear typically, regardless of the car, it is difficult to run wires to door speakers.

It's easier if you have one of those flexible claws and a can of WD40. I pushed the claws through first then grab the speaker wires. I sprayed ample amount of WD40 on the speaker wire's rubber insulation so they would slide easier.

i did this and it worked out great... rewired my entire car and left the STOCK wiring in place for when i sell... front comps and rear coax with front amp in the trunk and rear coax off the h.u

might have some pics on my site, but i doubt it
