So I want to replace my factory door speakers on my 2005 chevy impala. Id prefer to just go with coaxial speakers to keep things simple as I am just looking for a basic upgrade. But here's the thing.
The factory setup almost seems to be like components. The tweeter is separate from the woofer and it has its own wires. When you remove the speaker, there is 4 wires. Two for the tweeter, and two for the woofer. One video on YouTube just shows the guy cutting the tweeters off and using the wires from the woofer for the new coaxial speaker. But someone in the comments brought up an interesting point. They said this.
"anybody else besides me notice the wires where bi-amp'd? that means each pair is freq'd hi & low pass, he just hook'd up low pass to a coaxial speaker, that means the coaxial tweeter is improperly freq'd!"
Is his comment true? The car has a stock amp so I believe the wires are not running directly to the aftermarket head unit.
How would I go about properly replacing this speaker with a coaxial? I can not find any information on this and there is no wire harness I've found that looks like the one I would need. See picture.
