[QUOTE="maylar, post: 7574000, member: 541144"] My choice for front stage was Morel Maximo 5.25" components. Mids mounted right into the factory location: [IMG]http://farm7.staticflickr.com/6184/6135878119_958ae25552_z.jpg[/IMG] Tweeters are high in the doors, up near the dash. I had to fabricate mounting brackets and being pressed for time that day I chose to destroy the GM tweeters and steal the mounting flange. Glued them to the Morel tweets (I'm regretting that now) with superglue: [IMG]http://farm7.staticflickr.com/6159/6136421666_9e9c65606e_z.jpg[/IMG] So how to wire the Morel crossovers into a stock system? 1) Yank the factory amp. 2) Get mating connectors for the amp harness. Thankfully, GM used exactly the same connector at the amp as is used for the radio except with more connections. I bought 2 harness adapter cables and was able to combine pins to give me all I needed. Jumpered the rear HU channels to the 3.5's thru bass blockers and hung the Morel's crossovers from the harness. This photo was taken of the harness after I had moved the crossovers to my amp rack (that will be later) - [IMG]http://farm7.staticflickr.com/6094/6352660815_c56227ebef_z.jpg[/IMG] So how did they sound? Horrible. Next post will explain... [/QUOTE]
