To those with Polk DB6501 Component Speakers...

The db's are made to be ran off a head unit, if you are going to run them off an amp than I recommend going the the higher up models.

When installing I usually place them in the kick panels behind the wires. I run all new wires to the speakers and tweeters and usually run the wires to the new wiring harness of the head unit. However sense you are not doing a new head unit yet you will have to find the output wires of the head unit and splice into them to power the new crossover. Or you can wait to get a new head unit and amp and do it all at once. Because you will have to re run the location of the wires from behind the head unit to the new amp in the future.

Exactly... So, in this case - How would I find the output wire of the main unit? Meaning... Right now, I would assume the headunit either has 4 speaker outputs and powers both woofers and tweeters independently, or, it was 2 outputs that then split at somepoint towards the woofers and the tweeters... What would the case be here?

Will everything work If I use the OEM door speaker wires to power the crossover? Or do I need to look further up the wires to be able to run everything?
