    was thinking of going the direct to speakers route as well but then have to find a way to
    Hide the new wire and make it look clean and I’d lose the factory eq I’n the head unit also what’s throwing me off is the front tweeters are connected to the door speakers so I wonder if there is a factory crossover somewhere the dash

    The factory crossover is not likely bc tweeters are wired in parallel with door. Probably just so weak as to no blow them or measly little capacitor imbedded in factory tweeters.

    The EQ in the head would not be lost if it indeed happens in the head.

    I added the Subaru kicker tweeters and the kicker cs in the doors so it has tons of highs but I thinking probably is just a capacitor built into the tweeters I wonder how many watts these little tweeters can handle if wired in parallel will the rms watts I send to the front speakers also be the same power going to
    The tweeters? Wonder if it be better to
    Just get a high wattage component speakers

    Imagine if in life if all it took was something to fit perfectly somewhere else to be considered awesome. I would have a thousand kids by now.

    yeah just use the 2 channel version that only sends out and doesn’t return. There are links to it in other threads just use search. I think it’s just called add an amp harness or 2 channel loc. You only need one channel for a sub although you can run stereo subs for modern music where there is still stereo information below 100hz. Otherwise a single mono channel is fine. the same eBay seller probably has it. Should be cheaper too like 20-30 bucks.

    I tried looking but if you have any luck and can send me the link that would be amazing. I'm not sure what to do now because if I don't have a harness idk what to do.
