Hello Everyone,

I am having trouble figuring out how to route speak wire through the rubber conduit that goes between the chassis and the front doors. Is there someone out there that knows the best way to do this?

Thanks,
Phillip

Thanks to the picture you posted I can suggest this. I faced a similar situation in my Saturn, the rubber conduit looks almost the same. I actually used the ground wire from standard electric home wiring, bent back the last inch or so to make the end round so the tip wouldn't catch on the rubber, and tapped my wire to the other end. It took some fooling around and I needed to be able to at least touch the back ends of the conduit with my hand both inside the door and inside the kickpanel, and at one point I had one end of the coduit broke free of the door, but when I was finished I was able to snap the end back on and you couldn't tell I had been there at all. Just a suggestion.

Russgriz basically made and used a home made wire snake. That would have been my suggestion too.
