Running wires into the doors

[slipstream808]

I'm in need of some help here. I'm running new speaker wires through the doors to the interior of the car using the pathways that the stock wires use. Problem is, I can't get them into the car through that little hole in the firewall. I don't think there is any space, there. It's been about 7 hours of effort with some copper wire as a guide, and I'm getting nowhere. My knuckled are bloody, and I have a headache.

Any tips of advice on getting the wires into the car? I'd rather not drill new holes. I know it's been done before, but there is no real advice other than "use a hanger". (Good advice, but not enough) Thanks!

i did the same thing you are trying to do but what i did was open the door as far as i could then pop the rubber out of the door and put a butt load of tape on the end of the wire so it was hard and just fed it through the rubber then i put it into the door and put the rubber back on. its actually pretty simple. well in my case it was i have been working with car audio for about 5 years but that is the easiest way to do that.

Never mind... Mr. DeWalt helped drill a new hole.
