Hi all,

I'm upgrading my stereo, the deck is in and working great. The amp is wired except to the battery. I have two new Polk DB651 in the rear doors and waiting on my Polk DB 6501's. Since I have the rears I wanted to run 16 guage wire from the all doors to the amp. My problem is I can't find a way of doing this with drilling. I thought the gromet/boot went from inside the jeep to the door but in the middle there is a hard plastic connection that plugs in from both sides.
Has anyone added new speaker wire to their doors and if so how...please.

Thanks

Come on drilling holes isn't that bad. :twisted:

In all honesty I haven't looked but I will see if I can come up with somethin. Seriously though, drilling a small hole for speaker wiring next to the factory wiring would be fine. You could pry find rubber grommets to put in them and it'll look mostly stock too.

I was looking at cutting under the factory gromet and but that is a tight fit to cut witout removing the door. Plus I would need to be extremely careful not to nic any of the wiring already there.

yea just drill a tiny hole big enough to fit the wire, it should hurt anything...
