Default replacing Bose need help

I have replaced the Bose radio with an aftermarket system, my question is what is the easiest way to run the new speaker wires for the front speakers in the door panels, there is precious little room to do anything! Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Michael

One of the best "tools" I've used for running wire has been a light, flexible coat hanger that you can use to push or pull wire through places that are hard to reach. Good luck!

Take a hanger or antenna shaft, etc, push it through carefully from the door to the passenger compartment, tape the speaker wire to it with black or duct tape, then pull it back into the door. Make sure you leave extra slack for mistakes, etc.

I pushed it right through, from the door panel, into the car. I had no problem at all, took me a little less than a minute per door.
