I'm trying to run some wires for some rear speakers.

My plan is to run them along the internal guttering, then down the A piller, and through the dash to the radio.

All is fine except for the A piller part. Is this even possible or do the wires need to go another route?

Thanks in advance.

For a quick/dirty solution, ours have been taken under the carpet to the passenger side B pillar, then up the outside of the pillar trim. It looks shonky with the front seat swivelled facing rear and the curtain closed, but with the curtain tied up and the seat normal, it's damn near invisible.

You can get wires down the A pillar. The wiring for the courtesy light goes that way. And in the Westy, the wiring continues into the rear for the fluorescents. I rewired the light and it was tight to get 2 wires down so adding two speaker wires would be even more tricky, you could run one pair either side? Or use your existing courtesy light wiring as a pull through making sure you include replacement courtesy light wiring.

Sorry for the tardy reply.

Sorted.

So for anyone else wishing to do the same, take off the sunvisers each side and pop the wires down the A piller. At bottom, up behind the dash is a hole big enough to stick a finger in and pull wire through.

Then feed the other end of the wire through the sunviser hole towards the back of the bus, and pull it through.

Job done.

factory fit speaker wires go up the a pillar along the os roof to the rear along with the rear wiper loom!
