Door Mounted Speaker Q's
i searched a lil bit already and even posted a few questions on another thread but i was never given a response so i thought i would just make my own thread ...
I have a 86 Rex and i just mounted and wired a sony xplode deck ( i got it for free, i would have never paid for it) and the deck works great. all the wires are hooked up to the stock wires. nothing has been changed except for the deck (meaning i still have those stock amps in there) my questions should b simple enough to those with experience .... hmm what is the best possible way to send power to the doors. i looked and it seems like there is only one place to possibly fit wire through, and i already found out that its pretty hard to sqeeze wire in there. so does anyone have any other suggestions or even a easier way of accomplishing this?my other question was if i was to mount the speakers rite onto the door panel, would the door panel b secure enough to hold them? i noticed Mazda made their door panels very thin and split into two pieces, if i was to bolt on some speakers to the panels they should hold up fine and still sound good rite? ( for now im goin to b using 5 1/4's but later i will upgrade to a 6" round) ... wow i just noticed how much i wrote ... :P plz help me out, i wanna have this done by today if possible.

Either you buy an adaptor to bypass the amps, Or the easiest way is just to splice into the existing wires before and after the door. I know the splices will degrade the sound, but doors can be a pain in the *** to run wires through. Do not crimp the wires solder them.
