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.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.
That isn’t what I asked but thank you anyways.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.
Any issues with the door pinching the bundles?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.
Yes, exactly. Thank you for the info!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.
