How to run speaker wire through front doors?

[sweefu]

Hey,
i am running new speaker wire for the front splits because i'm connecting them to an amp, which will be located in the boot. What is the best way to run the speaker wire through the front doors? I gave it a shot the other day and couldnt find a way to get it through the little rubber tube into the cabin. Any help would be great
Thanks.

Does anyone have any ideas or hints or anything?

I found it easier to remove the rubber from both the chassis and door, it just pushes out, put the wire through, and then reattach the rubber.

Not sure how similar the VS is to the VT-VZ, but I run mine the same way as the factory loom, through the same rubber grommit. It's a bit of a pain to get the wire through, but with a bit of persistence and some talcum powder, it can be done and gives a very neat appearance.

Also recommend wiring a plug such as these in so you don't have to snip the wires should the door ever have to come off.

No probs.

Just an extra note, as acarmody mentioned, you can unseat the rubber part, making it much easier to feed the wire through it. You will have a real hard time if you just try to feed it through, and the baby powder helps A LOT.

Good luck!
