Yes there are speakers in the front door. My question was how can i add my own speaker wire trough the door. I guess im just gonna have to drill a hole in my doors.

i'd use a rubber grommet and drop the wire down a few inches and clamp it there,add a loop and clamp it on the frame. you can fold it so it stays where you want it.
i had a power window wire go bad on my work van and did a fix that way.

Not really sure why you want to run wire which is already present...anyway, when the door is open look in between the hinges and you'll see a black rubber piece...that's where the wires for the doors are

I am adding a 4 channel amplifer so i do not want to use existing wires i want to avoid sending signals back into the monsoon amp. i know about the rubber piece but the other end of the rubber piece is a plug which means i cannot go trough it.

Once you remove the drivers' door panel you will see the wires which are routed through the same rubber boot. Follow those wires back through the door and out under the dash, you'll see the route...they will come out by the park brake. The back doors are going to be another issue. The wires to the doors are ran under the carpet and out to the door through the pillar which the front seat belts are.

Are you trying to run a midrange and a separate tweeter (components)?

If so mount the crossover before the door and use the existing wire door wires (cut, solder and shrink wrap) for the mids in the doors and run new wire to the tweets in the A pillars. Unless you are running HUGE power you will not notice a difference in sound quality.
