[QUOTE="Lasherž, post: 8704100, member: 679555"] That makes a lot of sense if the speakers are wired in series. You should definitely get a multimeter if you don't have one already. You don't need anything special for resistance checks, but if you're looking into more diagnostics later you may want to get one with min/max. So it seems like your problem is that your vehicle wires them separately between the tweeter and the head unit and the mid to the head unit. Your component set wants the one connection, so you'll be effectively losing your tweeter wiring. I guess it's possible that the vehicle has a series connection from door to tweeter and that's why it's dependent on plugging in the tweeter. You should really get a multimeter though, because you don't want to just go shorting connections in your car if it in fact is not series. You'll also want to know what resistance you're dealing with to match what the car has by default. I've never seen a setup like that default from a car so without measurements I don't want to recommend anything. [/QUOTE]
