My factory wiring crackles and stops working randomly and I have components all around so I just added an amp which will make it sound so much more crisp. I would much rather use the factory wiring, trust me

I highly doubt there's a problem in the OE wiring. I'd check the speaker itself and the connections to it, then move on to the source unit.

the best way I found to run the wire is to run it from the door jam outward in both directions:

1. remove the door panel.
2. remove the speaker housing from the door.
3. remove the kick panel
*(on the passenger side remove the glove compartment)
4. pull the gromet from the body out toward the door jam to expose the wires inside. they will be taped but you can get through it.
5 push the gromet into the door on that side.
6 feed the wire into the gromet ,in the door jam, through the body side that you pulled out toward the door. while dooing this reach inside the door through the void from the speaker housing or by pulling back the plastic.
7. work the groumet with the hand inside the door while feeding the wire through. it likes to bunch up inside the gromet but just keep moving it untill it goes through.
8. feed the other side of the wire into the body. after feeding a foot or so you should be able to see it or feel for it from the inside of the car.
9. pull out the slack. push the gromet back in place( hooking the back of the gromet then pushing in the side closest to you) it is tough the other way.
10 pull the gromet in place on the door side.
11. drink a beer

it took me about 30 minutes per side including installing my components

Did it that way also. Works well. Hardest part for me was putting the door and frame grommet back into precut hole.
