There are simply no extra wires in the door. It's time to take the door panels off, here is a tutorial on that, it should be at the bottom of this post. Once you get the wires snaked thru the door to the underside of the dash, it gets easy. I've run a lot of wires from all over the car to the back of the head, etc. The underdash is easy. I know you don't want to run wires, but there just is no other way.
Ok, did some reading here and I found out about those speakers: All Kappa's like you describe are 2 or 3 way speakers and present rather low impeadances. Adding the tweeters is just making it TOO low.
And I was not familiar with that Kenwood head.... I just checked, I can buy one of those for (a price I probably should not post) thru the HR department. I REALLY like to keep the head factory, but that thing is a whole new world of options and nice features...
Pizza:
I really appreciate your working with me on this and trying to help me. But we seem to be skipping over the only aspect of this I am missing. I mean I know how to remove the door panels and how to run the wires throughout the car. After all, I installed the kicker tweeters, the Kappas and routed everything through the amp. So, that whole aspect I get and can do.
The one question that is not being answered is if I am using the two wires in the Kenwood wiring harness to connect the Kappa door speakers to the amp, with the remaining two wires in the harness being used to connect the rear subs to the amp what wires are left in the kenwood wiring harness to connect the tweeters to the head unit. Should I do a splitter of the wires in the head unit harness to accommodate the tweeters and the door speakers. Perhaps I need to go back to Crutchfield to answer this question.
