Has anyone ran speaker wires into the doors? I’ve watched CAF’s video on how to drill the door wire harness plugs and run speakers through there. Anyone used this method? If so, how difficult is it to remove and reinstall the plug?
I’m going to replace all my door speakers and run them active from a JL VXi amp with DSP so I’ll have 4 wires going into the door and two up to the tweeter.

There is no reason to run new wires through the door. Just run new wires for the tweeters and use the wires in the door for the midrange and mid-bass.

I’ve had my factory Molex connectors apart in the doors to do this and quickly discovered that it was impossible to do. There is simply no room to drill and pass speaker wires through.

I ran fairly heavy gauge into my doors and I didn't mess up the big molex (can't remember what gauge). I'll try and get better pics. Last pic will give you an idea of the size of wire going into the doors coming from the amp on the left. Driver's side door shown.

Any issues with the door pinching the bundles?

Hoping for some help. I am looking for some cleaner sound and some bass (not overkill). I have the 9 speaker 8 inch screen system without a sub and wanted to look at something easy to install since this is not my area of expertise. I was looking on one of the sites suggested here, and was hoping someone could point me in the right direction. Based on the above, what kit would work best for me?
https://plugnplaykits.com/products/...eer-plug-play-amp?_pos=2&_sid=fd362498d&_ss=r

I'd like to get my front speakers more power for crisp clean sound (i have already replaces all the front speakers and removed the center) and to get a small sub for some bass. I also have a convertible so there aren't a lot of options for a sub either. I used forscan to disable the eq, so I think I've done everything I can short of adding equipment. Again, I was hoping to get some kind of plug and play setup since I am not at all familiar with this stuff. TIA !

So you want more power (i.e. new amplifier) for your front speakers and add a subwoofer, is that correct?
In this case i would recommend a DSR1 with the appropriate harness aFO3, amplifiers with enough channels to run your front system and a subwoofer active and go from there.
The kits referenced in the link you gave are just for adding a subwoofer, but not additional amplification for your front speakers.

Yes, exactly. Thank you for the info!

Many of today’s amps have LOCs built in so you can run high level lines in without issue. If you’re going to run your mids and highs ‘active’ you’ll need a DSP. Again, there’s many options for that as well.
