    How to wire my tower?

    I'm trying to figure out the best way to wire my tower. I have already started to route the wire from the top but have hit a couple problems. I was going to try to put both wires towards the passenger side of the boat but I can't get the drivers side to go over that way... it gets stopped in the top somewhere. It's very difficult to explain. I will probably just come down that tower on both sides...but what do I do when I get to the base of the tower. I have a hole about 3 inches above where the boat connects to the tower...so I imagine I have to put a hole in the fiber glass? Then but some tubing over the speaker wire like I will at the top of the tower where the wire will be exposed...I think pictures will help best.. from me and from others who have done this. I know the tower I have is a 2001 Metcraft I believe..or that's what I was told.. Here is a Pic of the boat from the back..maybe you can tell me what tower it is. I'm going to take some more pictures soon.

        Thanks man...I'm going to jump into the project on tuesday and wednesday. I gotta get out on the water the Saturday and I'd like to have my system ready to go if I can! Any recommendations on installing the amps? I have two amps... The Kicker 700.5zx and the 450.2zx.. The mounting board underneath the storage are is not big enough unless I put a bigger piece of wood there to mount it. I'm thinking I will do that and then just basically carpet the plywood I use and mount it on the area where the amps usually go.. if that makes any sense. I know I'm not the first guy to mount two amps so any advice on that two. The only things i have done thus far is the wiring of the amps. Most the boat is already wired for everything else besides the tower speakers.. makes my job a lot easier... I just want to do the job right...

            It's the female half of the connector, it would mount through the deck and the male half would be on the tower side.
