    After you drill the holes, tie some heavy string off on one end of your speaker wire- the stuff you get at U-haul. Then, use a shop-vac to suck it through.

It's not a big deal, except if you do it in 100 degree weather so you can get your tower tunes before a major holiday weekend. I think I spent about 8 hours total, wiring the tower, installing the bimini, wiring the amp and adding a second battery w/ battery switch.

      You can also fish string down from the top, then apply air (from an air compressor) from the top and it will shoot the string out the bottom hole, or at least get it close enough where you can grab it with a dental pick. That is how I ran mine, same tower.

          This is a great idea. I had the dealer do the tower wiring and speaker install. Wish this post was up three weeks ago.
