*SOLVED* *Im happy as balls*CANNOT get wire into my doors...last straw before i'm done....any help? *pictures top of page 4* and first post.


Recommended Posts

I'm not the best installer or anything but how dad taught me was a hanger/wire snake/thick long zip tie....

Take the wire, twirl it around said object like a circular staircase. Wrap it nicely and smoothly in electrical tape for at least a foot..

Lube it and the area like crazy... Never enough lube. Again mine is sunscreen or lithium grease.

Go to work.

See my last comment. But I'm sure you knew all that, I was just making sure.

I don't think he needs to drill i think he needs to take a step back and refocus. It's gonna suck and it's gonna hurt and probably bleed a little but you can do it.

I know with mine I was able to take the grommet thing off of the door and the body so that I had some time to wiggle wires around and play with it. That being said, I also don't have a lot of wires that go into my door so it wasn't as difficult as yours sounds, but no easy task. Take some Adderall and you will have it done in no-time :P

Edit: As tight as it sounds, you might want to cut a slit in the tube to stuff the wire then seal it back up. Personally for something like this, I would rather drill a couple holes and add my own hardware for a grommet

Pics might help us

Thanks alaskanzx5 I might just do that
I can recone a sub myself. About a year ago I took 2 12" power acoustic mofos and made one sub. I took the magnet and the motor off of one and j b welded it to the other motor and magnet. I had to wind my own voice coil so it would work. After I was done hooked up to 2 boss 5000w amps. And shattered my back and all my side windows

came to this thread to recommend soundqubed and ct sounds. OP goes with soundstream.

oh lawd.

Did I mention lube?

Use lube. Make it so disgusting that you feel bad for anyone that touches something up in there again..

^thats what she said?

Anyways I know you can do it. Through my last couple comments is how dad and I have been running wires for a long time.

I second n8's last comment about it hurting.

If you fit the zip tie though... Then get it through like a foot... Wrap the wire around it like I said very tightly with electrical tape. Lube the piss out of it.,. And pull from the other side.

The wrapping technique will make the wire hold on even tighter when it try's to be forced off.

I've done this one time where it failed, but the spiraled wire turned into a big knot at the bottom of the snake instead of slipping off.

I re wrapped into a more streamlined spiral and tried again...,,, more lube.
