Basic, silly speaker wire question...

What is the best way to get speaker wires through the bellows on the door hinges? I am installing a new amp behind the seat, and was wondering if anyone has covered this.
Thanks!

ooh that sounds good too, should be just right amount of stiffness and flexibility and you dont gotta worry about gouging anything.. Great tip sundevil, i might change my mind in my upcoming build about using a coat hanger..

After 2 years in an install bay, i picked up quite a few tricks. That was one of the first ones.

I use a 4+ foot piece of weed-eater cable (depends on the application). I've also got an old aluminum archery arrow that I rough cut the ends off for cutting/wiring through the fire wall/carpet and such.
