Hey guys, tried posting this at TI forums with no luck. Maybe someone here can help me out!

I recently got a '98 2dr LS to replace my daily. There were no speakers in the rear, and only the tweeter on the driver's door and the speaker on the passenger's door worked.

I bought a pair of new speakers for the front, the passenger door did not have a tweeter (previous owner did black interior swap) but it did have a crossover in there with a wire coming out for a non-existent tweeter. The problem is I think the crossover on the driver's side is bad, as it only puts audio out to the tweeter wire and not the main speaker wire.

Since I won't be using the separate tweeter on the driver's side, can I simply cut the wires and take out the crossover completely? Or is there any other reason I would need it? I noticed the wiring coming from the car to the crossover is of a much much thinner gauge than the wires going from the crossover to the speaker & tweeter, will this be a problem should I cut the crossover out and have the thin gauged wire going directly to the speakers?

 

What speakers did you get, make&model?

What speakers were in the doors, stock or aftermarket? 94

 

I don't know if they're stock speakers in the doors or not, by how old they look and how old the crossovers look I would assume they are. But the brand on them is 'Boston'.

To replace them I bought Sosche 6.5" 3-way speakers (model HD6503), they're cheap I wasn't worried about awesome sound quality just something decent to get me by on the long commutes.

Then the X overs are also aftermarket, you will need to remove them, and just connect the stock speaker leads to the new speakers. 94

 

Thanks, I'll go ahead and cut them out then.

BTW, every search I've done on here regardless of topic I see you answering people's questions, thanks for sharing your knowledge!
