How do you run the speakers wires to the rear of a 1968 VW Bug. Carpet is glued down.?

Also, how do you get thru the firewall without drilling?How do you run the speakers wires to the rear of a 1968 VW Bug. Carpet is glued down.?There are two ways



1) Under the carpet.. Remove one of the seats and you will usually find the carpet comes up with less hassle and nothing will show after the seat is replaced. This also gives you the ability to put a speaker under the seat if you wish. The carpet is easily reglued with a can of contact cement which you can pick up in any hardware store.



2) Over the headliner. Use a long pull wire (which electricians use to fish wires thru walls) and run a lead from the dome light down into the hood area.. then pull a wire up from that side ..

Then do the same trick to fish a wire into the rear by the storage area. Pull up the headliner below at the bottom and fish out the wire.. then use THAT wire to pull in your speaker wires. (You can also use that same wire to put other things back there like power leads and a rear seat light if you wish).

It is handy to have help with this option..



easy jobs.. they just require patience ...



.How do you run the speakers wires to the rear of a 1968 VW Bug. Carpet is glued down.?You can route wire from front to back just like VW does in the factory.

From the truck remove the dashboard cover. Locate the main wire harness,

and take notice how it is routed to the side of the dashboard. It then is routed up

through the body continuing in the tunnel that becomes the top of the door frame.

You can do the same with the passenger side door frame. It is easy. From the engine

compartment figure out how to take stiff wire and snake it through the tunnel. You will have to remove some dampening material. After the wire has been pulled, You might have to drill some holes to the spot where the speakers will be mounted.
