    Speaker wire in FCT

    So I need to run the wires for my tower speakers and I have one question before I actually go through with it. If I mount my speakers on the back of the two top bars where has everyone drilled out the tower on top? I've been looking how Grant set up his tower and found some great advice (Thank you!):

    The wires come up the front of the tower and my speakers are in the back, should try and get the speaker wire out the front as well? I think since the back of the speakers will be in the middle of the two cross pieces it would probably be cleaner from the front piece. How has everyone else done it.?

    Here is a picture with a pretty bad drawing of where my speakers would be and the potential wiring.

    That is exactly how I did mine. Can't really see my wires unless the speakers are off or you are standing on a roof. Its also a lot easier to run the wires out from the front bar than to try to fish them through the welded parts. I am not even sure you can run the through those cross members.

      Mine come up on the drivers side. They are run through the
      Fiberglass. A quick connector is mounted into the glass. The
      wire is then run into the tower above the mount. It comes
      out of the tower and across the folding mechanism and
      back into the tower. It comes out the top of the tower
      and across the cross bracing as you have shown. It is held in
      place with some zip ties. In other words, fairly similar, but
      from the other side.

        I put my lights in the spots you have outlined with yellow squares. I had to run the wire on the outside from the front tube to the rear. I was not willing to go through what Grant did to get the wire cleanly to the rear tube. I put the speakers on the front tube.
