    This is my first post here, and i have a couple questions about wiring aftermarket speakers up. for reference, i installed a pioneer avic6201-nex head unit al ready and i have some kicker door speakers that have been sitting unopened for a couple years. the speakers are the DS693 coax 6x9's and the DS65.2 component 6.5's with 2 dome tweeters and 2 crossovers. i also bought the metra adapter plates so that the 6x9's and 6.5's could be installed in the doors, as well as a set of 2 metra wiring harness adapters.


    so here's my question:

    can i put the 6x9's up front and the tweeters in the stock tweeter location and put the 6.5's in the back? how would i wire the crossover? would i wire the crossover to the tweeter and then run the woofer outputs from the crossover through the front door, into the cabin, and then back to the 6.5's? if i did this i would totally ignore the factory wire harness in the back door right? also what about the 6x9's in the front door? would i connect them to the factory wire harness with the metra adapters? or would i snip the 2 wires in the harness that are audio output before the tweeter, splitting them to have (+) &(-) to the crossover and having another (+)/(-) set going to the 6x9? in this case i would ignore the factory harness. any input from you guys is much appreciated.
