Speaker wire

Had to drill some holes on the left side to run RCA, and remote wires

Will post pictures of the right side which has 2 runs of 0 and 4 gauge. Now I have to figure out how I am going to get the wires through the firewall. I was planning on getting the DC 5K (2 of of em) but I can not fit 4 plus runs of 0 gauge wire

I installed 1 of the Mezzo's to my door pod and I noticed a bubble. Do you think this will effect the performance of the speakers?

So it is the door pod- Second skin tweeter kit around the opening - then I screwed down the speaker.
