Angry FD: Running Speaker Wire through Rubber Snake to Door!

I'm about to give up! I purchased some Kappa Perfect Components to put in the doors. I also bought an amp to power them. I ran 16-gauge speaker wire from the back, but I can't figure out how I'm going to get the wire through that little rubber "snake" into the door. It is very tight in there, and I'm about to give up on this whole project because of this!

Does anyone have a suggestion on how I can run this wire!

I don't have a fd so I can't help but If you decide to give up on it I'd take the perfect comps from you

FC's are the same. Pop the door side of the snake, run a coat hanger through, fish wire, Done.

I did it on both sides. There is a connector that basically plugs the wiring harness from the door into the car. If you unplug it you will see that there a few places in the plug that don't have pins. I fished the wire through the molding and the fished it through the openings in the plug where there were no pins. Kind of a pain, but you can even tell it is there. Just make sure you leave enough slack for the door to open and close.

just use the stock wires...look at the bose diagram and trace the wires. this is what i did for my mb quarts. you can take the wires after they come out of the snake and run them to your amp.
