Default tweeter install question***********

I recently tried to install and replace the front component speakers. What did you guys do with the stock tweeter harness? I noticed that if I dont have the stock tweeter hooked up nothing will work. The stock tweeter harness has 4 wires, do i splice them together? If not what do I do? thanks.

You are installing components off the stock wiring?

If so, the wire that runs into the tweeter will have to go to your x-over. Then run the wires from the x-over to the mid/tweet.

The signal comes through the door and into the tweeter first, then from tweeter to mid

Either that or I tried it first and was going nuts until I noticed the little wire running from where the tweeter used to be to the mid....after ripping them out
