Running wire under the carpet and trim is the easy part, that's been done since Wednesday morning. It's getting the wire from there into the door panel that is giving me fits. I can't run it through the rubber boot and hose that is in place. Access to that from the interior is really subpar and I'm about 95% certain that there is a plug from the door wiring into the actual body of the car. I haven't found any diagrams that show it, but from feeling around and poking at it for the better part of two hours I'm pretty certain that's the case. Either way the odds of me getting anything through there and successfully out the other side and not floating inside the frame are very slim.
Using the existing harness wouldn't be difficult, the issue is the low gauge wire inside of it. If I splice in past the stock amps it's only about two feet of wire from there to the front speakers, but I really don't feel comfortable using that with an upgraded amp. The stock speakers are 50w peak so using dental floss wire is fine, but trying to run 60w RMS 160w peak speakers off of them is just asking for disaster.
