If you get good tweeters in the sail panels, you dont even need those. Instead of spending money on 2 sets of tweeters, combine your money and buy one really good set like Focal Polykevlar's. The 6 1/2" door speakers and tweeters go for about $400-$450. If you already have tweeters than I would run new speaker wires and leave the stock wires alone. You can run the wires up from the pillars. You'll have to take off the tweeter/dome light console though. Using a hangar as a snake will help too. It shouldnt be that hard to do. I ran the wires for my visor monitors. Its a little annoying though. The pillars pop off.

Or if you really want to use the stock wires than ask someone with a helm manual. I think Unx has one?

Make sure you unplug the grommet from both ends. I taped the speaker wire to a wire hanger, sprayed some silicone spray on the speaker wires, and snaked them through. Its a pain but it can be done. I did it. Just get a wire coat hangar, cut off the hook part, bend it straight, and use electrical tape to hold the speaker wire to it.
