I can see this mod in my future. What tool did you use to crimp the connecxtors on to the wire?

Even though I'm not one of the 2000 + crowd,that was an excellent write-up and very detailed.

Looks like it definately from the factory

Nice write up. Great big pictures to boot

did you try to cover of the rear speaker panels?? Or is the camera playing tricks on me

Must just be the picture. I didn't make any attempt at modifications to the speakers or grilles.

I wanted to purchase a Delphi tool. Because each of the four different terminals uses a different die set, I would have needed the crimp tool frame and four die sets. Each die set alone is $150.00. This would have been the better part of $1,000.00 USD. As a result, I decided to use a generic tool for about $60.00. I have to crimp each terminal twice (once for the wire and once for the insulation), but it does an alright job of things.

This is it here:

Nice write-up. Great pictures. Good work.

im a man who likes shortcuts wherever possible, But never to hurt the car at the same time, im not a total cheapo.

are there any wires in the doors already for my 2001 that i could splice into and connect?

No, unfortunately not. The only wiring you'll have is for parts/options already installed.

Thanks for the compliments everyone, I appreciate all the support!

Just a quick update regarding this procedure...

I have added the following information:

1. Wire lengths for each segment and the terminals on each are together in one location.
2. Additional photos of connections for the rear doors.
3. *** Preventing water leaks after re-assembly of the doors.
4. Information on part availability.

Hope this is helpful!
