speaker wire between door and cab -

Is there a "proper" way to run the wire from the door to the cab so that it doesn't pinch? If anyone has pictures, if you could post them, that would be great -
Thanks

Re: speaker wire between door and cab -

im not gods gift to this but my two cent idea has been
make sure you have a dang good clean hole so no burring ever cuts or nicks your wires..
and if you feel like hiding the wire find the flexible wire covers from a junk yard and steal them off an import from there..
(they are usually smaller from what ive done =-))
but try basically to keep the wire off of any moving or pivoting parts and try not to use to much excess..
and good luck

Re: speaker wire between door and cab -

I'm just using wire loom, but there is a right and wrong way to do it when using the loom. If you use the boot like the post above, its hard to screw up.

I'll post a pic later of my own wires.

Here's how I ran mine, I ended up hitting the wires with some rattlecan flatblack.
Running the wire like this supposedly keeps them from moving around too much.
