Hi
I am looking to install two small speakers in the rear of the van so the kids can hear the radio without us being deafened in the front. I want to run the cables up inside the A pillar, under the headlining and then through to the rear. (This routing is used for our water pump, lighting and fridge) Once I have the cables out of the front of the cab it looks pretty easy......
What is the best way to physically get the cables through without destroying the whole van interior to route them? Any tricks, tips or hints?
Thanks
Mike

Re: How to route cables?
I ran a cable once through the headlining by attaching some metal to the wire end, and pulling it through with a magnet. Worked! Would depend on what unseen obstacles come your way of course. But its easy to try, and 'non destructive' .

Thanks, what route did you take?
Might try the magnet idea first though....

I like it.

Don't argue with idiots. They'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.
