Question on stock tweeter wiring. & adding an amp.
I was wondering if the tweeters in the front doors are wired in parrellel/series with the 6.5s in the door, if they have thier own channel, or are they true components? Can I replace the 6.5s with a standard coaxial pair (still using the stock tweeters), or do I need to replace them both with a component set?
Do our stock head units have pre-amp outputs? I doubt it but thought id ask.
Finally, What is the effect on your system when you tap your rear high-level speaker lines to power both your speakers and your amp? Does the drop in Ohm load negatively affect anything?
This is an SE base model bonnie.
Thank you,

yes you can replace just the 5.25 inch speaker with a 6.5 inch coax and keep the stock tweeter. But if you want to do that I must ask why you want 4 tweeters in the front?

no

shouldn't impact anything. If it does it is so slight you likely wont notice.
