door speaker install

[shortys408]

I am installing 6.5 components in the doors from a 4 channel amp. How do I get the wires inside the door without them being seen. I see there is some rubber grommet going from in the car to inside the door but I can not figure out how to get in there from inside the car. Anyone done this install that can help me out?

Sorry, been crazy busy lately. There is a rubber grommet that can easily be removed and put back on. Open the door and pull it off so that the hole in the car and door are visible. I'm pretty sure I dropped some twine or something into the car from the hole (put in in the opening where the door closes and drop it towards where the driver's feet would be). Then, tie it to your speaker cable (use some tape - I used electrical - so it doesn't snag) and pull the cable through. Then fish it through the rubber tubing. You can then replace the grommet on the body of the car. Next, send it into the door and you should be able to easily grab it through the speaker opening (obviously once you remove the door panel and the speaker in the door). Let me know if you have any problems or need further explanation.

i see the rubber grommet. That is how i got the wire into the door, but I can not figure out how to get the wire into the car. I stick the wire through the hole into the car and i can not find where to grab it on the other side.

Push a decent amount through. It's up there above your left foot (when in the driver's seat). It's a pain to get your hand up there, but if you work at it you should be able to get a grip at some point.

Where r u gonna install your comp's tweeters?

I'm gonna do the same install soon and cant figure out what would be the best spot for them.

[shortys408]

installed them in the front of the dash where those 2.5" speakers are.

How did you know how to replace the factory 2.5/3.5" tweeters in the front dash? Any pictures on how to do this as I'm looking to upgrade all my speakers but need the directions actually.

[shortys408]

you need to remove the pillars than the speaker grills just pop off. 2 of the screws were easy to get out, the third one is a bi**h. I put in a tweeter that came with the component set and just ran a wire to the crossover.

not that I'm going to need to do this but for clarification, what are the "pillars"?

The "pillars" that connect the roof to your car. That help?http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F...n.svg

Will show u graphically the name of them. So the people above are referring to the A pillar.
