Holes in door(2005 Accord)
Hi, I was trying to install component speakers in the driver's side door. A wire harness gets in the way of my running wires through the door. Is there a way to do this right? I also noticed that there are two perforated type holes in the upper part of the steel door. Adjacement to those perforations are two corresponding black caps or plugs that lead into the console. What are those for? Are they something to used or are they something used in higher model Accords.
Thanks.
Thanks.

For components, I usually just put the crossover inside the door and use the
stock wiring. If you want to run fat wire for a high-power system, it's a
different matter, but in most cases the stock wiring will suffice.

I thought about that too, but I have a separate tweeter in the dash so there
will have to be a wire from there or to there no matter what.

Are these three-ways?? If not, just put the crossovers wherever under the dash,
and run the woofer wires back to the radio location and tie them into the stock
door wiring.
If you need to get a woofer AND mid into the doors, well... I dunno...

Thanks. They are two-way and the problem is not where to put the CO's, it
is how or where to put the woofer and/or tweeter wire coming from out of the
door. I want that (those) wires to disappear as they have on the passenger
side.
