Tweeter wire connection

Years ago, I installed aftermarket speakers, using the crossover, I know want to run the speakers to an amp with out the crossover, what is the best way to run the tweeter wire into the car? I originally used the old door speaker wire to connect the crossover, then tapped into the door speaker inside the door. but now not sure which wire is the for the tweeter, or how best to run that into the car and back to the amp.

Any amp, with a 4700uF cap or higher, on the + lead to the speaker, depending on where
you want the frequency cut-off.

You won't need a very powerful amp to just add tweeters.

Sorry, I am trying to figure out the best way to run the speaker wire from the tweeter into the car, either splicing wire or or however. Thank you

You splice the AMP into any speaker leads from the radio.

If the factory amp is not stable to 1-ohm, then you can't simply add another tweeter
to either channel. They're 4-ohm speaker loads, adding another 4-ohm load will reduce
it to 1.33 ohms. It can damage the factory amp. I tried looking for the specs on the
factory amp options, to see what they're stable to.

The problem is, the front doors and tweeters are the same wire in the car, I spliced in the car already, but no separate wires.

You MAKE your own wires, just parallel them in with the existing ones.
