LOL I know.

I've been working at weekends so I never got chance to make it on a Sunday. Now I am on my placement year I don't have to work weekends! and I can go up Fezy :D

I was keeping myself to myself before that.

start with a smaller drill bit, and work ur way up.
make sure u don't drill thru any pin/ports that are being used for your door electrics (c/l windows mirrors etc)

i drilled the multiplug and connectors to get the speaker wire in, (12guage).
Its very fiddly. I also ran a thin cable thru to power my LEDs in the speaker grill.

i didn't take the door off, but may think it would be easier to do with the door off. depending how hard it is to take the door off lol.

Put some decent cable through the door.

It will involve taking the door off though, and you need to be carefull not to make a mess of the connector.

I wanna do the same, i much prefer the idea of using quality cable, i dont have central locking atm, and would like to fit it! Does anybody know how i can get these wires through aswell??

If I tap into the central locking cable then they'll be on 24/7 plus Ive made a fused distribution box that I wanna run them off plus a switch to go with my neons etc.
As far as the speakers go I wanna use some decent qualtiy cable, I knoo its pointless but I wanna do it lol

if you are wiring an amp for front comps you can use the existing speaker cabling.

do this buy cutting off the existing speaker wires at the HU and then linking the ones from the amp to the originals.....

as for the power led i believe you can tap into the central locking power cable.

Ok I wanna change my speaker cable to my front components and also run a live wire to run some LED's. Whats the best way to put the wiring in?? Is there any way you can connect the wires through the existing detachable spool thing (not sure of the technical term:o)

Thanks Mark
