Default --HELP-- wiring system (passing wire from inside into door)

I've seached with no results

in the midst of finalising my stereo install... tests are good, and want to pass the wires from the splitters to the front speakers and tweaters.
That means I have to pass wires through the little wire gourmet that goes to the door.
Access seems like hell.
Anyone done it ?
Any pointers ?
Especially from the inside of the car area, close to the fuse box... how can i pass wires from inside the car to the door ?

Thanks for help

I used a wire hanger, out of my closet. Cut it, bent it to the right angle and bingo. Piece of cake. (of course you have to tape the wires to it.)

i did go to Home depot and get similar metal wire of different width, so that I end up getting something stiff enough, yet bendable enough.
about the angle... should I make it point toward the bottom on the inside ?
I can stick my finger in the gourmet from the door... but not from the inside.
Tough to reach, i guess.

I actually pulled it out from both ends compressed it and ran my wires with it compressed. This way you don't have to run the wires through with as much grommet.

I pulled the grommet out as well. Its not to bad to get on and off.I sprayed mine with a little soapy water when I put it back in.

You have to contort yourself a little is all. Once you pull off the kick panel, feed the hanger through from the door side, and if you get down low enough, you can see where the hanger comes out from. Tape the wires to the hanger, and pull them back into the door.

If you are not concerned about the original speaker wires that are already there then... Get some electrical tape and tape one end of the new speaker wire to the end of the old speaker wire and pull it through. I run network cables as part of my job and when I need to replace bad cables this is the method that I use and my crew use.
