Hey guys;

I'm in the process of running speaker cable from the amp to the front doors on a 97 Civic sedan.

I've got the cable to the dash -- I'm just looking at how to run the cable from the dash to the door. The wire cluster running from the car to the door looks just about impossible to get to from inside under the dash. . . and it doesn't look like there's much room in that rubber boot anyway. . .

So. .
Advice please?

Anyone here run cable in a similar car before?

Ideas?

Thanks in advance.

 

Honda's have plugs at the door jamb....it's a PITA, but you need to unplug them (clips at the top and bottom of the plug I think)
Then you can drill out the plugs, feed the cable thru, and put the boot back together.
Sounds easy when you say it fast, but be prepared for a 1/2 days work, and you'll get to a point where you'll be thinking that you should just remove the door.

 

you can use up 1/2 a day a door
and have a beer and a 1staid kit too

 

Damn. Here I was hoping for some simple method that eluded my analysis.

Thanks guys. That gives me a hobby.

 

This sticky I wrote up and posted on another forum will help you. Pics and all.

Thanks Rob, that's awesome. Big help.

 

yea, those stupid rubber boot things can be a real pain in the ***...especially if youve got alot of power equipment on the doors (locks,windows, mirrors...) then there all the more wires to make it even tighter to squeeze your wire through
