Default Speaker wires in door...

It is a PITA to get wires through that rubber hose! As i look back i had to have a long shank screw driver, and i had to use electrical tape and tape the end of the wire to the end of the screw driver and try to guide it through. But there was a lot of sticky butyl in there or something. Made the task even harder... Does anyone have any tricks for this? It looks like ill need to be replacing my speaker wires unless i can use crimp on butt connectors and not lose sound quality.. I realize thats essentially what we are doing when we connect the wire to the speaker. But will more than one in the line be a bad thing?

Use a coat hanger. Much easier to work with.

Yeah, I had a fairly easy time with coat hangers. Ran 2 12 gauge wires into each door with no problems.
