So I'm about to hook up the tower speakers and was wondering the best way to do it.
I have to drill a hole in the tower to run the wire through it, but how do I get it so water won't get in through the hole? Are there special plugs I can get or do I just cover the hole with the brackets when I mount the speakers? Anyone have pictures of how they did their setup?
mine was done at the factory... prolly going to need some sort of electrician snake to pull a string through and then pull the wires ... this may help... I will look tomorrow where they enter and exitQuote:

I just rewired my 06 rad-a-cage yesterday with 4 sets of 12 guage wire. I used the old wire that was already in there to pull the new stuff through. It was not an easy task, so expect it to take a while. One thing that helps a lot is to lube up the wire with some dish soap. That made a world of difference for me.
Its a tower from big air I think, so I'm drilling the holes and running the wire through. Seems like a staying forward process, I just didn't know where to drill the holes for the wires on the top of the tower - or if there were rubber plugs I could use to cover the holes and still run the wires.
