I can imagine it being tough on the front doors.
I gotta take a look at the connector and see what I can come up with.
it's a little tight, but it can definetely be done

hmmm....where does one buy these things called "grommets?" 
home depot, just a couple bucks. check by the "buy wire by-the-foot" section. you sound like you don't know what grommets are...they're little rubber rings...damn, harder to explain than I thought. google it

you must not have searched that well. been covered a bunch of times. see my sig for pics. i just uncovered the wiring between the doors from electrical tape to coldshrink and it lots even better and even cleaner. heck, i was at home depot the other day and even took a pic of the grommets. they are right in the electrical section near the wire by the foot section. package of 3 rubber grommets. 1" each i slit the grommets to maneuver them into the hole better. start with a pilot hole. i used 2 unibits - 1/2" first then the 1" bit.
i didnt do the rear doors cuz i'm not going to run a major rear fill. just some dropins powered by hu's rear channels.

first, it's easy as hell. If you can't do it, you should put down the tools and step away from the car.
Second, pm brian (grymes) and ask him for pics of his install. It's mighty clean, and looks factory.

ok, now that ive seen his pics ill agree that it looks easy.  now that ive seen the pics. before that, i wasnt about to just go drilling through the factory connector without knowing exactly what was lying there. puhleez, ive done enough install jobs to know what im talking about
