question about front speakers....
I am replacing my front speakers with Infinity Kappa 63.5s like a few have done, and I want to use the existing wiring from the head unit to the speakers. For the stock speakers is there a crossover inline somewhere that sends high frequencies to the tweeter and mid/lows to the 6.5 in the door?
The Infinity has a tweeter built in that no doubt is better than the stock one, but if I just disconnect the stock tweeters and hook the new speakers to the wire will the high frequencies be coming through? Or will I have to run new wiring straight from the HU to the speaker?

No, you will be fine. Take the door off an you will see the tweets have a separate harness (the brown one). From my little test last night the tweets are just about full range. I put bass blockers on them and they sounded much better! or just disconnect them. you will lose some sound but it is kinda crappy sound anyway. One thing I did notice is that the grill in the door is not completely perforated. The speaker angle is good though, so t does not matter!
Good luck. Be careful with the door snaps. I have had my doors off 3 times now and almost break them each time.

What does the speaker angle have to do with the un-perforated grill? Seems to me that if your speakers are firing straight into a plastic panel then your sound waves are gonna be screwed.

Hmm I noticed that too, I was thinking about drilling some holes in the stock plastic grill. I figured if I drilled them in a "Z" pattern or something it would probably look alright.
