Default Best way to wire into door and keeping it in the stock door loom?

What's the best way to go about this?

I need to run new wiring for a component set, and the last time I did it, I just ran a seperate set of wires, but this time I'd like to try to keep it in the stock wire loom.

I've heard to use a coat hanger to push it through, but that doesn't seem flexible enough for me.

Any ideas, or easy tips?

TIA.

DON'T USE A COAT HANGER! What we use at our shop is a really long zip tie. These ties are about three feet long. I think you can get them at Home Depot.

Thanks for the replies guys....I didn't end up using a coat hanger, and the zip ties I tried to use weren't stiff enough to pull the wire through.

So I took off the 3 pieces that went from the cabin to the door, and took out the stock wiring, and then fed the tweeter and woofer wire through there, retaped it, and stuck it all back together.

Looks nice and stock

How much of a difference would there be with the stock wiring? Is there much of a SQ difference using thicker wires?

our shop uses a wire puller set. Cheap, works great. It's pretty much a 2-3 foot long spring thingy covered in a rubber, with an end that screws in you can feed the wire into and loop it back. It holds the wire and allows you to shove it from the door, up the gromet, and into the car.
