URGENT Amp Install Help

Please guys i need your help asap on this one
im halway through installing my amp. got all the power done etc
on to running the speakerwires
pull off the door, think ok
look to see how to run the speaker wire from the cabin to the door
rig up a coat hanger
go to run it
but it looks like the thing that runs from the cabin to the door is sealed, so i have no idea how to run the wires.
HELPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPp

i ran into that same problem, and im stuck there too. mainly because i didnt have enough time to finish it up. i believe u could just run it along with the other wires going through there? it seemed a bit tight but you might have to untape the factory wires and run it with that. check it out, see if its the same.

I don't remember exactly how I did it on my camry, But on the new Tacoma I had to disconnect that rubber piece from the door and the car, then run the wire through, then reattach the rubber to the door and car.

It's not sealed, there is a rubber gromet about 1" in diameter what u gotta do is pull it outa the hole to give u some flexibility and then u run your wires through it. the other ends of the holes are in the kick panel area and insdie the door behind the speaker.

Ok theres a slit into which i can lead with the coathanger which is what im trying right now. its pretty much impossible to get it thorugh, mainly because i cant see, and barely reach the part that comes out into the door. Any ideas im getting pretty frustraded right about now

Got some long nose needle nose pliers?

not that long

Did you disconnect the rubber hose from inbetween the door and the car? Try that, then it'll make it easier to feed the wire through, then reconnect it.

Anshu I used my 3,000th post on you, you better get that installed :disappoin :cursin:

lol itll get done one way or another
i dont think i can dissconect the hose
im going to try a long ass screwdriver that could work

nope didnt work

the rubber part just needs to be given some tough love to come out.. its not held in by anything, just stuck in there.. try just yanking it out

im not sure that we are on the same page here
as far as i can tell i cant just remove the rubber thing

its stuck in between both parts of the car
dont know what else to try
i removed it as much as i can to no avail

yea we are on the same page.. just pull the fat part out where it is closest to both sides of the door and pullll.. believe me i did it the other day, just gotta give it some muscle... are u scared u are gonna break something or are u really pulling it as much as u can?

Yeah man, yank that shit out!! :lol: You don't need to remove it, just disconnect it from the door.

Do this, get a flathead screwdriver and between the rubber part and the metal, seperate it with the screwdriver. You might have to push it in twords the wires then it should come out.

ok i yanked it pretty much all the way out
i can touch the wires on the DOOR side of the thing
unless you are suggesting to run the wires next to the rubber then i dont see how to get the wire through the rubber

because i cant get the rubber thing off, like off the car

yank both sides out, so that you have more leverage running the speaker wire inside the rubber. basically, so that you can pull it through the holes on the car and the door easier. you can do eeeeet!

You have taken out the Kickpanel right? IIRC that's the other side

thx guys
i kinda worked it through
got it so i could see both ends of the thingy
used the hanger and some serious brute force and went up and then back
one side down 1 to go
