Thanks

Just curious, why do you need new wiring?

I'm putting in new speakers.
I'm feeding them ~125watts. from MB Quart ONX4.125 mounted on the rear wall.
One option is to run all 4 pairs to behind the radio and tap the current wires going to the doors. I have already ordered a new harness if I do this method. There is a cable I'm looking for, 4 pairs of speaker wire in one cable (like CAT5, but for audio).
I'm not sure on the AWG on the factory set up, 16 or 18 I would think.
I'd like to use hi-quality 14AWG. And because I have to run the wire from the rear, I figure why not just run it to each door speaker.
Ideas?

I forget what gauge wire I used (14 from the look of it) but I simply dremelled out a couple of the pin sockets and made holes for my wires to be fed through.
It worked out great for me since I could keep the stock wires for a simple stupid reason as "just in case" ....
Sorry if the images are mislabeled, it's been a couple years since I did the install
