I am wondering why you want to run speaker wires through your doors, as they should already be there. Did the original speaker wires get damaged?

Pull the harness out of the body and push it through. This is one of the easiest vehicles to get wires in the door.

Just use the factory wiring, you will never notice a difference between the factory wire and something slightly larger than factory wire
you will spend all that time and effort for no gain that you will ever hear. ask how I know

ok lets put it this way factory speaker wire is good for about 400 watts to the speaker, unless you are running some serious power and serious upgraded speakers just keep it simple and use the factory harness.
all you have to do is run wires from your amp output to the headunit harness in the dash (all the factory speakers wire are there), generally you want to run the amp power wires down the left side of the truck and amp output wires down the right side of the truck, this prevents hum & interference.

What amp and speakers are you using and what headunit?

I just read that again, lol you are not making any sense I assume you meant factory wire?, pretty unlikely the factory wiring is causing any sound issue need more details

Well then you shouldn't be having any problems if it is wired correctly and tuned, are you sure the polarity is correct to all speakers? are you using the headunit or amps for crossover control?
are they just 2 way speakers or components?

Sounds like you need to check your wiring

 

[Jason in DLH]

Just trying to understand.. you have the aftermarket amp connected to the OEM wires currently and the speakers aren’t sounding good, correct?

My only thought is that you have a bad ground. Where and how far is your grounding point?

As others have stated, the OEM wire should be good and really no need to bypass.

I concur.

Let explain better. I have the KENWOOD head unit running the all the speakers I have not added the amps to it yet. I’m just trying to figure out what to do to connect to my amp. Then add the subs and the sub amp.

Make sure you don’t screw the amps directly into the chassis. I like to screw the amps into MDF, and then screw the MDF into the chassis.
