      but you will want to rewire it. It's like 22ga wire.

        i tried this, and the wiring was there, but i was getting no signal to the tweeters, and the tweeters do work. there was just no signal coming to the tweeter location wiring. any ideas?

          you need to wire them in to the premium woofers in the kickpanels. Otherwise, they're wires just sitting in a harness, unconnected to anything.

          take a look at teh premium speakers in the rear and how they're hooked together for ideas.

              The wiring will still be there in the front, just as I said above.

              you could (though I highly recommend against it without a crossover) tap power directly from the non-premium speakers.

                22 gauge will handle 7 amps the wiring will be fine, the wire goes from the tweet in the door to were the back of the radio or down to the front kick speakers?

                  Down to the front kick panels. Honestly, just run a new wire. It takes a bit more time, but at least your certain that you have a good connection from point A to point B.


                  Keep it slideways!!

                    but you have to dig it out of the gooey-taped harness. sure, new 22ga will handle the current, but this wire, I assure you, is in shoddy condition.
