Default Running wires to the subs need a little help

Hey yall. Im pretty new to this forum and I needed a little help running wires for my subs. I have them all hooked in but the wires are just kind of sitting there. How do you remove the door jam panels without breaking them so that i can run the wires up under them?

Oh and by door jam panels i mean the ones on the inside of the truck that hold the carpet down. I just need to know how to remove these jams (if that's what you call it) without breaking them

I just used a flat head screwdriver and pried them out, they have the same clips the grill uses so they can just be put back on if any come off the jamb. When I pried them out I did it in front of every clip so it focuses the force on there. If you look under the car you can see where the clips poke through.

what Juan said... They are fairly strong, just use something to get under there and pry it up. but when you pry it up pry near the clip so like Juan also said it focuses the force.

For getting them back on i recommend taking the clip out of its hole in the truck and putting it on the trim where it should go then push it back into its hole. i found that way a little easier. rubber hammer helps with this to.

Why bother with pulling the running board trim up to begin with unless your running thick wires. I was able to run my 8 gauge power wire down one side just pushing the cable under the trim with a screwdriver and my hands. Same goes for the remote wire and signal wire down the other side. There is plenty of room to push them under the panel rather than pulling them out. Once you pull them out they wont set as well as they were when they were placed there in the factory. Plus they are a pain in the @$$ to pull and put back. Save yourself the hassle.
