Well, I have my truck (2008 Limited) pretty much pulled apart installing my new system. I'm at the point where I need to run new speaker wire from the amp (behind rear seat) to the new speakers in the doors.

Does anybody have any good tips? I did a search and came up with a few things, but I thought I would ask anyway.

Thanks in advance for any info that would make this job easier.

 

If your truck has the door boots that don't have the molex connector I have a few tips. If yours has the molex then you are in for a boat load of work.

Anyway here is how I did mine.
Pull the boot from the door and cab. Use a fish tape or stiff wire to pull a small diameter nylon string through the boot. Tape up your cable really good to the string. I made loops around the cable with the string to give it something to bit onto, or you could use a slip knot. Then spray the cable with a little WD40. This will make is slide through the rubber boot really easy. From there feed it into the door and the cab. The boots are the hard part. The door and cab are easy.

Run your newly ran speaker cable to the back in the sill plate channels.

Good luck. Hope this helps.

 

By "boat load of work" he means you need a drill w/ drill bit.

When I did have my speakers in the doors, I dealt with the boots by scrunching them together and pushing the wire through. A little muscle and you're good.

Run the wires down the door sills or along the floor w/ adhesive mounts/zipties.

They're a little pricy, but very nice end result.

 

Where were you last saturday.

I think I went about it the hard way.
