I ran them off of the wires from my headunit that went to the front speakers.
Basic 101? Run tweeter wires to my h/u wires for front speakers? Or do they have to run to the original door speaker wiring? I know i'll need a crossover of some sort for them or is the HPF i have on my headunit enough?

You can wire them either way, as long as wires are connected. And yes you will need something like these... http://cgi.ebay.com/1-Pair-New-Bass-...3%3A1|294%3A50

it's not 100% the best idea to run them off the HU since you would be putting the load at a lower ohm rating. but if they are a component set then they will be fine but would be much better off on an amp either way.
Is this a component set you bought or just a set of tweeters? If you just bought tweeters just use the factory wiring that is already in place. If it is a set of components that you purchased than use the supplied crossover with the package and call it a day.
Was just going to buy some tweeters, and run the wiring, sounds like i should do it to my door speaker with the x-over. thanks
Does anybody know where I can get the tweeter covers that go inside the door by the mirror? I am going to add some tweeters but don't want to mount them anywhere else if i don't have to.
If it ain't broke, i'm still fixin' it.
Thanks a lot guys. I guess i'll order some since I have to get some new clips that hold the black trim on the windshield and goes all the way back to the rear window on the driver side.
I purchased some 6x9 PowerBass 210watt speakers but they don;t fit, too big. I'm tired of ripping the door and rear deck apart but whatever. I'll stumble across some good speakers later.
