Has anyone hooked up the stock tweeters or replaced them after hooking up an aftermarket radio? I was thinking about replacing them with some from Infinity to match the rest of my setup but does anyone know what wires coming from one of the three harness actually feeds them? Has anybody reconnected them? Any thoughts would be appreciated.
 
Yea you right they are not tweeters I don't know why I said that because I've taken the grills off and looked at them before. They look like 3 1/2" speakers.
 
Yes, I reused the stock center speakers and stock center channel amp when I put an AVIC in my wife's car.

The connections are on the 8 pin connector, with the sub woofer connections. Pin 8 (yellow wire) is the amplifier enable pin. If you drive this from an aftermarket radio, you need to put a 1K ohm resistor in line to prevent the amp from popping at turn on. Pin 5 (white wire) is the positive center channel input, and pin 6 (gray wire) is the negative center channel input. Most aftermarket systems don't have differential outputs, but this is okay. The factory amp seems to work just fine if you connect the negative input to audio ground and the positive input the the audio out. If your aftermarket system doesn't have a center channel output (most don't) you can at least rig a mono output yourself. Take the left and right outputs and connect a 100 or so ohm resistor to each. Now connect the remaining end of each of the two resistor to the positive audio input to the amp.
