I have the factor OEM wiring for door tweeters left and right.

Can I assume the OEM wiring is connected to the existing left and right door speakers wiring in the back of the stereo?

So I can just plug and play the door tweeters if I add them?

I hope so

Thank you

Wiring will be present near the front footwell speakers, but won't be connected. IIRC, the footwell speakers for use with tweeters have a filter built into them, which the tweeter wiring plugs into.

Hi
Isn’t the door pre wired? I thought the tweeters were housed behind the wing mirror on the door or is this after market/non-OEM?

Wiring will be fitted, but not connected at both ends. There won't be a crossover filter either (although it's just a single capacitor each side.)
