Running new wires through door

How on earth do you get new wires through the grommet in the front doors? Just looking at them there is no way you can just fish the wire through. I can't even find where they come out inside the car. I am wiring an amp to power a set of components so I can't use the stock wiring. I need help badly.

You can't. You have to run them through a different spot on the door.

Well that blows - I guess I can run it out by making a new hole in the grommet in the door but whats the best way to get it into the cabin?

ok man here is the easy solution.
All you have to do is make a small hole in both of the grommets with a razor knife. Don't worry about trying to get the wires through the factory loom because you never will. Run the wire through the two holes, and use electrical tape to hold the wire to the factory wires. Then get some 1" split loom and work it over the factory wires and your new wires, and you are done. Looks perfect.
