Hi Liam, im doing the same thing as above at the moment putting 2 sets of cables through my doors, tried getting them through the standard plug but its tight as a nuns chuff...
Did you have to remove the doors to drill the holes for the speakers to come through?
I really dont want to pummel 4 holes in my body work as its non reversable and might rust over time, ive got braiding left over from my pc build so might end up doing what you and quite a few others have done above.
Let me know what your thoughts are cheers bud

alright mate na didnt have to take the door off just pull the rubber away so you can get the drill straighter and it wont melt the rubber like i did
you only need to drill one hole on each side of the car as there is already a hole on the car just need to make one in the door job done to stop rust i just put a little bit of paint on the bare metel

well just been out striping some more bits off the roof got the runners for the sun roof blind off thay where held in with 8 bolts n screws all of witch where loose lol so thats where some rattles where coming from.
also when i toke the lining off yesterday a screw fell down too didnt see where it came from but today saw that 2 screws where missing and thay where thay ones that hold the sun roof in so that explains why the sunroof had been flexing more than normal plus the other ten screw that hold it in where loose too lol bass damage ftw
going to take the front of the wall off in a bit then cut some more of the lining away then tomorrow i can go get the wood and start making the panels going to put some more sound proofing on the roof too.
replaced the duck tape as it started coming off.

the roof striped

the two bolts that came out

the bits ive toke out

i cleaned my TB out and my air flow sensor, brake cleaner ftw! made the engine judder and spit like fuck... but i think its done the job.
when i looked into it, it was jet black! now its all shiny again.
but its due for a good service anywho, its had a hard last 6 months!
then again, if work isnt busy today, im going to do it tonight, and see if i can get it running again for the weekend. i reaaallllyyyyy want to go sunday!
