I have a 2006 GT (had the Shocker 500, but it's been fully replace). I can't seem to figure out how to run new speaker wires (3 one for midbass, mid and tweet). The problem is that there is a grey plastic piece under the rubber gasket/grommet that runs from the door to the car frame on the cars frame side. I cant get a good look at it (because of the tight location) nor can I figure out how to remove it so that I can run the new wires through it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

PS - how about reinstalling the grommet itself?

I tapped into the subs at the amps under the left side of the dash and the mids/highs at the rear of the stereo.

Thanks, I had thought about that, but considering I have high end equipment and wire cables, I'd sure like to use the good wire from amp to speaks.

The factory wiring is sufficient. "High-end" wiring is all marketing anyway. When you use all the factory wire, it'll be roughly 12ga to the 8's, and 16 or 18 to the highs. That should be sufficient. If you must run new wire, reach DEEP in behind the dash, about 2 inches above where it looks like the tunnel to the door would be. There's a 2 part "clip" that goes into that rubber boot you pictured. Separate the 2 parts and you can run wire through then. You'll only need to put the one part back to hold the boot in place.


BTW, I tapped into the same spot IS did. I am running 225 RMS to my midbasses (each) with no problems. Now, If I could simply find a bit better sounding drivers to drop in there.
