Yeh just unclip the grommet, it wont be easy. What i did:
Unclipped the grommet, got a stiff piece of brass wire, tied the speaker wire to that, fed the brass wire up through the opening into the door (make sure you've taken the door trim off obviously). It's alot harder than it sounds but i found that was the best way :).

It was awhile ago i did mine, but it should just pull out (maybe try squeezing the sides abit as you pull).

so I open the door, take off the door trim then try and unclip the grommit. then put brass wire through the grommit and pull the wires through and then clip the grommit back into place?

Yup, make sure you tie the speaker cable you're putting through to the brass wire though lol. Also you dont want the brass wire too thick, it's gotta be able to bend, but still stay fairly stiff.

Fencing wire will do the trick as well. ;)
