Front Door Wiring

I have tried searching and I have not found anyone cover this (but I may be wrong)...

I need to install new wiring from the door speakers to my amps any suggestions. Or a link of another install.

Options for getting the wiring from the door to the car.

1. Run the new wiring 3/4 of the way thru the plastic flex come out drill a hole into the car and put gromment around the wiring

2. Run Completely in new flexible conduit from the door to the car.

3. Abandon running new wire to the crossover just tap the wiring on the inside of the car. (where would be the best place to tap and still hit the wiring after the factory amp)

Thanks in advance

There is a plug at the door jam but I thought there was some room to run a wire.

I slicked a little slot in the factory wiring boot and put the wire through and then caulked around it on both sides.

Factory amp should be under the dash.

about 1/2 the plug is not used, I drilled it out and was able to run a 12 and a 14 Awg. through the boot and plug without a problem. Have some Pics of it if you want.
