Tower wiring routing question (2009 212x)

[mcdavemp5]

Hello,
I'm about to look into installing speakers on my tower and was wondering if the smaller dia tube actually connects to the larger tubing. See picture.


My goal is to clamp speakers on the smaller diameter tube, but will I be able to route my wires (red in picture) into the main tubing is my question. Please confirm before I start drilling holes for nothing



Cheers

All those tubes have a breather hole about 1.5 inches at the end points. Routing wires though will be challenging at best. Good luck!

Great info, thank you.
Any idea of the holes are smooth or still with sharp edges ? Unsure I want to have my wires constantly rub against it

I would assume rough. You may want to shrink wrap your wiring with rubber tubing or good tape before pulling through the tube intersections.

Wonderful, I will try this out. Thank you for the quick reply, you all make this community a great place ! Still newbie, but I'll do my best to contribute back over time.

Anyone update on this? I'm fishing wires through the smaller tube on my '16 212x

Don't do it.. I'll find a picture and post here.

Wow, I was really hoping for sanitary welds...
