To Anyone Who Has Re-Wired The Door Speaker Wire!

Car  Coiley'd Clio PH2
After making quite a mess of my car wiring i am now seriously considering re-wiring the whole car!
What i would like to know is about how much cable will i need to re-wire from the headunit to the front doors and into the cards, from the headunit to the tweeters and from the headunit to the rear door speakers.

Also, what is the best way to take the door cards off and get all the old wiring out etc..
Did you leave the old wiring in there?

Thanks
Nick

The trouble you've got with the door speakers it that the gaiters for the door wiring use a plug at the car end (you might already know this lol). Hence its very difficult to get wire into the doors, hence why I made a few adapters to fit my front components rather than run new cable.
 
if you wanna run new cable youll have to drill a hole throught the plastic bit in the grommet in order to pass your cable through
 
Any guides on doing this? my rainbow components recommend you use speaker cable with a cross sectional area of 2.5mm squared, I tried drilling holes in the plug, but they arent big enough and are already interfering with other terminals on the plug!
 
Ill try and get some pics up of how i did mine and make a mini guide!
I think i had 2.5mm thickness wire through mine.
