I'm about to be installing new kicker speakers for the front and back in addition with my 2 12" kicker comp cvr's in the trunk, I would really like to find a way to run the wire through the rubber tube going from the door to the car but can't seem to find a way through. Please help?
 
Why the new wire? There is a whole to get it in that tube up there somewhere. I've never done it on a Dsm but have on other cars I've owned. On my old mustang I just traced the wire to under the dash as close to the door as I could get and snipped it and connected the new wires there. I had a bad factory amp wiring though so was just trying to wire it up to work by bypassing the amp to directly to the head unit.
 
Your talking the rubber tube that all the other wires feed through for the door? If so, you can feed your speaker wires through there, just look abit harder. Its a tight fit but it can be done. Thats how I ran mine & that was with 14awg, twisted pair wire.

I'll keep looking, just to make sure I don't have to take dash off or anything? I would really hate to go through all that trouble.
 
you dont have to take out the dash. Ive done it recently in my GSX.. Use a screwdriver, or some other pry tool... go around the edge of the rubber hose and pull/tug/pry she will come out.. Installation is the reverse of removal.. I do recommend using a clothes hanger to get the speaker wire through the rubber hose though.

Thanks for the advice man. Got all my wire ran perfectly! Nice and clean!
