Running aftermarket speaker wires into door
I bought my car with speakers replaced by the previous owner. However he did not route the new speaker wires into the door but rather tap into the OEM speaker doors instead.
I just retrofitted CIC with Hifi option so I want to rerun the whole speaker wires from aftermarket amp. Has anypone done this before? I looked at the joint between the door and the body and it is very tight. I retrofitted the auto fold mirror before and am sure there is no other point to run the wire through.
Appreciate your support.

18 gauge wire should do. Make sure the insolation isn't too thick then it'll go through with ease.
