Help! Front Component install

Hello all. I am in the middle of installing some infinity kappa components but am having some issues. This is the first time i have attempted to install speakers myself. I got the door panel off, but I am confused about the wiring. The crossover has inputs for the woofer and tweeter and an output to the amp. I am just using the stock bose amp. Where are the wires that output to the amp? Do I have to run wire myself? Thanks for the help everyone.

Not sure what you are asking, but all you have to do is clip out the wires to the speakers. Use the input to the stock 6.5" speaker as the input to your kappa crossover. Then the outputs from the crossovers go to your woofer and tweeter. Pretty simple.

I share the other people's confusion with your question.

The Bose amp has a single pair of wires (ie: two wires) going from the Bose amp to the left door, and a single pair of wires (ie: another two) wires going from the Bose amp to the right door.

Using the drivers door as our point of reference:

You want to tap the wires at the door before the split (2 go to the tweeter, 2 go to the woofer). You feed the wire you tapped before the split into the input on your crossover.... which means the crossover is going in the door. Then I would recommend running new speaker wire from the tweeter output of the crossover to the tweeter in the door, and new speaker wire from the woofer output on the crossover to the woofer in the door.

If you are sitll confused after reading this post and the previous two posts, I would recommend putting the door back on and taking it to a shop.
