Stock vs Infinity tweeters installed
Infinity tweeter and Crossover installed
Input wiring using the factory tweeter connector removed from the tweeter as input to the crossover. Only the tweeters door wiring is used as input, the woofers are disconnected. The factory system does not have a dedicated signal to the woofer and tweeter. Infinity woofers wiring is tied to the center connectors on the crossover.
Space and location for the crossover was perfect.

Some tips on the front panel removal
Front door panel removal:
First roll down the windows
Remove side mirror panel. Pry off, it's held on by snap clips
Remove 2 phillips screws by first popping the covers loose.
Remove the door panel by prying and grabbing at the gap bellow the foward portion of the panel. Start from there and work your way around the entire panel. Panel is held in with push pins.
Carefully raise the panel from the window seal starting from the rear. Hold the panel slightly away from the door and remove the electrical wiring harnesses and door latch clips attached to the panel.
Door latch assembly
Panel removal done.
Take note that reassembly is just as easy if not easier. If you have trouble, don't force it as everything goes together rather quickly. Test door handle and locks once the panel is in place.
