2004 Honda Accord Front Door Speaker Wiring

Hello:

2004 Honda Accord. No way can I install new wiring through the factory gooseneck conduit. It uses a multi-pin connector on the door side, plus the body side is beyond reach inside the fender.So… I can see where I can drill a hole on the door, seal and route the 14ga. speaker wire through the fender, out to the engine bay and back through the firewall into the cabin. I will be using wire loom to protect the wire (wherever I can) and zip-tie in places.What do you guys think? Are speaker wires "exterior" rated, where/which can I get one?

Note: I don’t like the Q-forms kick panels (for now), it takes out my footrest.

Thanks.

I dont see why youd be going through the fender... its not a very good idea, stick with the firewall---- 1996 Chevy S10 ----

Make sure you buy grommets to fit the drilled holes.  Also I would wrap the wires in electrical tape where they are exposed before slipping the wire loom over it.  Should be just fine.

I agree with Clean Install.  Use the OEM wiring unless you are planning to put 250 watts to your doors.  But if you DO end up drilling new holes, definately be sure to use rubber grommets and to seal the holes with RTV, or you may end up cutting through your speaker wires and grounding out the amp, and/or getting water inside your door.

Thanks, guys.

I've nixed the idea and will use the factory wire, a clean install that way.
