OK, after getting the dash & seats reinstalled I rolled up the window. There is no way I can push the 12 guage speaker wire in to the door without removing the door and rewiring the harness. So, in about 2~3 weeks I'll have a door lift so I can remove the door. Once I have the door out I'll pull the harness and remove the extra connector and its wires along with the stock speaker wires. That should give me enough room to pull the repalcement 12 guage speaker wire. If not, the drill will come out and I'll use a few waterproof grommets and pull the cable directly. Either way I'll need a door lift.

Oh well, on to finishing the radio & amp install. if I have time, I'll install teh rear camera too. Otherwise it can wait until next weekend.

Don't know if it would make a difference in the feasiblity of pulling your wires, but I guarantee that unless you are doing something bizarre and very high powered, you won't hear any difference going to 16 guage instead of 12. (Not just me,this was conclusion of blinded study using the audiophile ears of the editors of Stereo magazine, back in the pre-MP3 golden age of hi-fi,using high end home stereo equipment).
So if some salesman didn't already talk you into silver plated oxygen-free mylar shielded twisted pair 12guage Munster cable, understand that these are just for show, and since yours ideally won't show, I'd save the $ for a new pair of fuzzy dice and thread smaller cheaper cable in a classy discrete oem location if at all possible.
