Also across the top of the doors just pull the A, B & C pillar covers off and pull back the rubber seal and voila there is a great canyon to put the lead

it wouldnt clear the door seal on the front door so i ran it through the rear door.

it doesnt rub and where, i barely notice it there. very rare i have rear passengers. lol im coming up with excuses now, but thats probably because it will more than likely stay there for a while
About as dodgy as a spray on condom - re route it before it rubs and shorts out

I am an old auto elec. I always run cables through the existing cable hole. You will find a large loom going from the engin bay into the cabin. It will have a large rubber boot. You put a slight nick into the boot and get a wire coathanger and feed it through the hole. In the cabin find the coat hanger, attach the wire and pull it through. Works every time no matter what car your doing it to. I have fitted at least 30 subs in my time.

On the fire wall there is a point where a large wiring loom enters the cabin. There is a large rubber boot. Put a small nick in the boot and get a coat hanger and feed it through the hole you make. Get into the cabin and find the coat hanger. Using electrical tape tape the wire to the coat hanger and pull it through. This works all the time.
