Okay, so I have looked everywhere and I'm probably dumb as a box of rocks, but how in the hell do you remove the A pillars near the windshield on the 4G TL to replace the tweeters? According to the wiring schematic that I found at a link, it appears that there is a factory crossover somewhere in this beast. Below is the link for the wiring schematic:

Does anyone know where I can find that factory crossover so that I can replace it with the Infinity one while keeping my factory wiring? Sorry for being such a noob, but I'm literally just starting to learn all of this and it is kind of overwhelming. Screw it though, I just ordered some Infinity Kappa components to replace my blown passenger side midrange. As I get some more free cash, I will upgrade bit by bit. I suppose that rules out the new RV6 J-pipe for this month.

Crossover is in the door. A pillar just pops off, but go ahead and order the c clips that hold it on. They break super easy. Tweeters will take a little effort to install; they are not direct bolt ons.

Thanks a bunch y'all! I really appreciate it. Time to tear this bia apart and make her anew.

You gonna be bumpin' for Christmas?

That was the plan, my man. But it's probably going to be bumpin' for New Years. My right front speaker has blown, so I am replacing it with an Infinity Kappa component system. It wasn't the next upgrade I was planning, but oh well...there goes the J-pipe for now. I've ordered the factory to aftermarket speaker wiring adapters, trim pullers, replacement clips for the A pillar (for the tweeter replacement), and foam baffles to protect the speakers from moisture (noticed some condensation in there the other day when I checked the speaker).

While I'm in the door, I'm thinking about dynamatting (is that a real word) the heck out of the door, installing a kp systems window roll up relay, and anything else I see while I'm in there (especially to seal up the door from moisture).

I've checked all the threads and am ready to go. While everyone else is making a Christmas list, I'm making an upgrade plan haha. Also, I've found there is no factory crossover, just one wire pair to the front door speaker and tweeter from the amp. I'm going to have to cut and splice, but thanks to some helpful folks I've found the 3000 some page service manual for the car.

Do you have any recommendations or advice?
