i did the swap.
pulled my head unit and reversed the wiring to the standard wiring, unplugged the tweeters, and today i finally directly connected the front two speakers to the head unit. the last couple days i've gone with no treble up front as I poked around and contemplated running wires thru the door.
decided to dig through the bundles of wires and splice them in the foot well so i wouldnt have to deal with the window. i did the passenger side first to build some confidence as it was way easier to find and splice. tested the speaker and it sounded awesome.
then i did the drivers door. had to unclip the gray harness to get more room to pull the bundle of wires out that headed out to the door. removed the tape, shuffled through the bundle to find the right wires, spliced, taped, and put the trim back on.
i thought it was going to be a lot tougher. the first, more easily accessible bundle of wires i searched through had 2 sets that where the same color as the front left speaker. I assume one set goes back to the amp from the HU, and one set returns to the speaker. didnt want to risk guessing, so i went with the door bundle instead. besides getting good light on the wires and contorting my body for a while, it wasn't too bad.
