My car is an 89 325is with premium sound. The previous owner put in an aftermarket headunit, and kept the factory amp in the trunk. I replaced all the 5.25" speakers with Alpine Type S which was easy enough. When I took the old 5.25s out, they were connected with 1 all blue and 1 all orange speaker wire, and were wired to the tweeters with factory wiring.
The question I have now: How do I wire aftermarket (Alpine Type R) tweeters in the front? I have searched and seem to be finding contradictory info, and people in the threads giving advice that someone else will say is wrong, but no solid answers as to what actually needs to be done.
As it stands now I have Alpine 5.25's connected to only the blue and orange speaker wire.
I can see the gray/green and gray/yellow wire that connects from the tweeter pod and goes into the kick panel. I also have an unconnected bundled together gray/white and gray/brown. There are also two gray/browns that connect to a plug that was plugged into the gray/yellow tweeter wire.
On the Alpine tweeter box, it says to connect the tweeter to the supplied crossover, and connect the crossover to amp.
I don't want to try and run anything through the door if I don't have to, so I was planning on connecting the gray/yellow and gray/green to the Alpines at the tweeter pod, then in the kick panel connecting gray/yellow and gray/green to the crossover. Where do I connect the wires from the crossover into (the ones that say "to amp")?
