The factory wire covering (usually fabric or plastic split loom) needs to be pulled back and you'll find the factory wiring is likely secured in several places to help alleviate strain. If you do cut behind the factory radio, be sure to insulate/tape/heatshrink each wire separately to prevent shorting out. Knowing what wire is what may require access to an online service manual so you can get the door molex plug diagram. Wiring behind head units is under a lot of stress when the factory radio is removed and reinstalled. Instead of cutting wiring behind the dash/radio, you could intercept the factory door wiring in the kick panel where cutting is less likely to cause issues in the future (9[wire wouldn't be needed in this instance). ![]() It's usually frowned upon to do this, which is why running new wiring is preferred. And in your case you're cutting the factory wiring since the harness is still connected to the factory radio. I highly recommend soldering if you're splicing into factory wiring. This is pretty typical across all makes/models that don't have fully active factory systems (typically reserved for higher trim levels).īe sure to tape-off the unused harness and it's helpful to wrap it in something soft (like foam or felt) so it doesn't rattle around in the dash. Simply put, they get the same signal because the passive crossover is mounted to the tweeter. ![]() ![]() As noted above the factory tweeter and door woofer are on the same wiring (but in parallel, not series). It's common to intercept and reuse stock wiring with the manufacturer puts a molex plug at the door jamb.
