Wiring front speakers on 5th gen w/ bose

Ok, so I have a 00 maxima GLE. I put in the rear speakers and wired them through the door. I need some help or advice on what i should do on installing the front speakers. I have 6 1/2 in speakers that have tweaters biult in and I dont really want to use the stock speaker wire. It seems like it would be a pain to run it though the door. Anyone have any sujestions?

How is that suposed to help me. Does anyone know the color wires you can use on aftermarket speakers and if they will come out in the trunk?

What do you mean, color wires? Use any color you want. What exactly are you asking?

I have gone to different stereo stores and they tell me that you can use the stock speaker wire but you have to know the pin outs for the colors on the harness that goes to the back amp. I was wondering if anyone knew the colors that go to the positive and negative in each door.

Or, look for the twisted pair of wires up in the kick panels and tap your wire in there.
