Well, now that my head unit has been ripped off and the dash is nice and exposed I've decided to wire up the front speakers for real. Make a day of it, install new A/C controls, bezels, trim, radio, and do some wiring. Fun fun.

So... how do I go about running quality speaker cable into the doors? I can see the factory wiring rubber tunnel but am unsure how to access it. Getting the seats out, door trim off, carpeting removed is a cinch. As I've done this before, just not sure how to access the wiring 'tunnel'. Does it require removing the glove box or entire dash?

I have some Polk DX components already in the door, with the crossover mounted in the door cavity securely. So, literally, it just a matter of running the cable.

When I originally had the 4 channel amp installed the audio shop created some heinous jurry rig hack that ran the speaker wire from the amp back into the factory wiring harness. (BAD) Subsequently I bridged this amp just for the fronts after I installed seperate amps for the sub and rears. (Which are directly wired, thank you.)

Any help would be greatly appreciated. And if you see a Alpine 3DA-W882 in a pawn shop let me know, I want it back. Friggin theives.
