why are u running these wires?  are u running your door speakers off an external amp?  if so then just run the wires from the amp to the speaker wires on the harness behind the radio.  cut the speaker wires from the radio and run it to that.    thats much easier than running thru the door boot!

true, but the factory wires suck ass, and have so much resistance they kill sound quality and output. Speaker wires one of the most important components, because without it you have no sound right? whell that obviously means something!

 I think you are talking about a "snake." You can get them at at hardware place and they usually come in 2 sizes a small size that runns wire from 18 to 6 gauge wire and there is a larger one that does large wire for use on houses.

You could also use a extra looooong needle nose pleirs, put the long end through the boot then place the wire between the pliers and pull. That and a coat hanger are the easiest ways without buying special tools.

Im not sure if its what you where refering to but what came to mind for me when you refered to a snake is a "fish tape" and its exactly what it sounds like a tape you go fishin for wires with
