Also, since I am bi-amping my fronts, it's required to run new wire. Bi-amping is using a four channel amp (in this case, the JL 450/4) to power a single set of components (2 woofers and 2 tweeters) It generally can improve the osund quality quite a bit (or so I'm told..).

So, new speaker wire.

By the way, taking the door off wasn't that difficult, I'm a relatively big guy, and I can hold the door up myself. 4 bolts, and it is off...

Well, apparently I learned something, because it only took about 1 hour to run wire to the passenger door, and it was much easier to do so. I figure if I had to do it again, it would take even less time.

Now to finish off the rest of my install on Saturday.
