I'm not 100% sure since I haven't really looked at the wire color on the dash of my Blazer, but, I'd look to see if they're tied into the front door speaker connections at the head unit, if so, just run a wire from there to your amp. I got some Stinger SpeedWire when I did mine, made running wires easy. It's 9 conductor so it has the 8 speaker wires and a wire for the remote.

they are not tied in. i had the bose system and the factory didnt tie them in bc the door speakers were 2 ohm so tying the tweeter in would have made the ohm load two low for the bose amp. I figured someone has done this here. i could tie them together at the hu but i really wanna upgrade the wire to my 61/2s in the door. i guess if i dont get an answer ill run new wire from the 61\2 to the amp, then run wire from behind the hu to the amp and tie them together at the amp.

left tweeter is gray/tan. Right tweeter is gray/light green. Gray is negative. Tweeters wired in reverse polarity if aimed to windshield; direct polarity if aimed at driver.
