So I painted my door panels, and before I put them back on I would like to put speakers in the front doors via the holes provided. easy enough.

How do i get a wire to the speaker? There are currently no wires that run to the door and no holes in the door jam.

I can drill a hole in the door and cab, and grommet the holes, but where?

also, what kind of flexable boot can I use to protect the wire? I do not want this to look like crap when I'm done.

looking for ideas, but pics would be the most helpful.

thanks!

 

There are dimples you can drill out where the wires are supposed to go. I was lucky enough to find a stock wire harness for mine. I can get some pics tonight after work to show you where it goes. You will need to take the door off to make things easy on you.

 

Here is my setup:





As stated above, there was a dimple in the door jamb on the cab side that I drilled into (right side of second picture). I drilled into the matching spot in the door (left side of second picture, no dimple though). I removed the door to get the proper angle when drilling into the cab.

I protected each hole with a rubber grommet, and then ran plastic conduit in between (this is shown in the second picture). I snaked the wires through the cab inner wall using a coat hanger.

 

awesome! thanks for the pics!

i'll check it out here tonight. It looks like the flexable conduit will work just fine.

thanks!

 

door wiring grommets



I have seen some sold on ebay with a type of grommet that sort of looks like a plunger where or who has these type

 

There may be others, but this is one option.

Boy talk about an old thread...anyway those funnel grommets are OEM and put on before the harness is completed....I have not see just the grommet sold separately.

 

LMC gets their harnesses from Dennis Carpenter who is the one who reproduces them.
I'd go to the source, DC is cheaper than LMC.
