Does anybody out there have any tricks on how to route speaker wires between the cap and the hull shell of a open bow? I need to run wire from the helm to the glove box side instead of running them along the hull through the engine compartment and up the other side of the hull to the head unit. Any help would be great and thanx in advance.

Be sure they will fit then cut speaker holes first. It makes it easir to peer in to see obstructions. Then your committed and you WILL find a way to get the wire through. You may need an access panel cut into the floor but most boats can be fished and wired without too much grief.

Several tools available for that type of job, fish tape or fiberglass rods that screw together. You can down and dirty it with a wire coat hanger or long wire tie too. Heck, I've even used an old fly rod with the guides chopped off to fish wires.
