Any way to get the door tweeters to work on an after market stereo? I'm using the harness plug to connect to the OEM switch box.

I have an aftermarket Alpine stereo.. The tweeters work.

I cant help you out more than that because the stereo was in when I bought the car..

its so easy to trace the wires and rewire the stereo system. All you need is a multimeter.

Mine don't, only the kick panels and the rear decks

But then do I hook them up to the same wires and the fronts?

I don't think so. The speakers don't say HK so I'm assuming it's just a basic set up.

I just tapped them into the same wires as the front speakers and the work.

All of mine worked after I installed the aftermarket stereo. I believe I have the 10 speaker system.

yeah, question about that: I count the kick panels (2x) the door tweeters (4x) and the rear deck (2x) so I count 8. I went to crunchfield and they only list a 10 and a 6 speaker systerm.

Obviously I must have the 10 right, so where are the other two or is there a mistake on the crunchfield website? Or, which might be the case, am I missing something?

There are 2 speakers on each side of the rear deck. A tweeter and a mid.
