To those with Polk DB6501 Component Speakers...

Ok. I got a new head unit (Pioneer 4300DVD). Thats already installed. Now, onto the speakers installation...

For some reason, no installer in my area has experience installing component systems in 370Zs, so, Im either stuck doing this myself, or actually helping out the guy who installed the head unit for me (installation was free with the purchase, just in case youre wondering why I didnt do it).

Now, Ive already watched the installation videos dozens of times, but remember, those are made for an installation were the wires are run from an amp to the speakers (amp -> crossover -> Speakers)... What are my choices then if Im running everything off from the head unit?

Im currently thinking (while mostly using stock wires for everything: Ill upgrade when I do the amp): using the wires in the door panel speaker to feed the crossover (considering that the crossover would be in the kickpanel, Id have another set of wires going the opposite route, but through the same way). Getting through the tweeters would be easy... But... What must be done to be able to route the wires from the kickpanels to the door?
