Looking at the install directions for my nu-relics. Its suggesting i drill a 7/8" hole in my body and doors.. I am like that a huge hole.. I dunno if I like that for two 12 gauge wires....

Does anyone have a better option for running two 12 gauge wired through the door jamb?

PS I have no door speakers. no pwer locks.. just these two wires needed.

This is the smallest loom piece I found in a search. Most want a 3/4" or larger hole, this one is about 3/8" (25/64).

Thanks Jody have you used those? if so did you make align the holes or "S" them ? I may be over complicating this .. just don't want to pinch the wires when door closes.. I think the s approaxh forces a more tolerable bend in the wire.

I have not used them. I like the "S" shaped molded rubber ones, but all the ones I saw were larger holes.
