Take one side of the boot off get a clothes hanger and bend it straight, tape the wire on and fish it through

It will help if you spray some lubricant on the wires before pushing them through...

2 pieces of wire will be simple.. I have several extra wires through my boots for the toyo mirrors, speakers & gauge...

I managed to get two sets of 16ga wires through each side without removing the boot or using any lube. Both would have made it easier, but it was still possible with coat hanger, tape and patience.

I did this for my components and my power door locks. It's MUCH easier if you take the boots off. That way you can push straight through instead of shoving wires in at awkward angles.

With a little bit of persistence I was able to push 12ga through, so you shouldn't have a problem. If you don't have power locks/windows should be even easier.
