Default Best way to run speaker wire thru door?

Having a bit of a struggle getting the speaker wire thru the doors.
Is there an easier way to thread the wire from the car interior to the door?
Th drivers door seems as if there's some things (fuse block?) blocking where the wires leave out to the door. Perhaps I just need to take more things apart to gain access?

Would appreciate some advice from anyone with experience cracking this nut.

thanks

Thanks. (drivers door) Had to pull more of the carpet back and then open that little white plastic box and then poke the wire thru that and out the door. Then fished it thru the rubber hose and into the door.

It was like "Trying to put it in when you've gone soft" (lol) Just took alot of patience.

thanks

whatever you use to fish it through, put some electrical tape on the end to dull it a bit so you dont strip some of the factory wires by accident
