Need help finding power wires for front component install

I am installing some CDT Cl-62 components up front, but i've run into a problem.

What wires do i tap to get power to my crossover? Do i use the stock woofer wires?

Thanks in advance.

Uh, do you mean "audio signal" wire? or do you need +12vDC?

If you need + voltage, you're going to need to run lines into the door.

But I thought most crossovers are passive, therefore they dont require power to do the job. Just attach IN audio, and OUT to mid, and OUT to tweet

Yes, the wires attached to the blose speaker would hook in to the Audio In on the crossover...

If you are looking for power wires for your passive crossover, I suggest you look for a shop for your install.

Hey dude,
Well I went to install my CL61's last night. I made the spacers, mounted the x-over, etc...

I cut the stock 6.5" plug going into the BLOSE speaker and used that to go to the "input" side of the crossover. I am not sure if that line is already x-over'd though. See my post below and I will get some pictures up tomorrow.
