there ins no need to remove the door panel unless you are mounting the tweeters in the door along with the crossover. you can catch the factory wires going to the doors in each kickpanel and clip them there. one side then goes to the speakers, the other is the input to the crossover from the amp. use the side that goes to the speakers to go to the woofer in the door from your new crossover and just drop some speaker wire down from each side for the tweeters. done. the wires in the connector in the keckpanels will be the same color as the wires at each door speaker.
DIY - Component Speaker Install Question
So I just purchased some Polk Audio DB6501 component speakers and I wanted to see what tools I was going to need to finish this job.
I know I'll need a rubber mallet and new clips for the A-pillars. But will I need anything like a soldering tool to get the tweeters to stay?
I plan on just figuring out where to put the crossovers (not sure I'll be using a sock as I've seen suggested here) but suggestions are welcome.
I have a door panel remover. But if there are any other tools I'll need please let me know.
I plan on taking pics to document
Thanks!

yeah for whatever reason they decided to do that in the driver door speaker. here is the factory diagram that shows you what is what. jsut use the ones that a green and green/black on both sides of the connectro in the kickpanel. the ones that change to gray/blue and light blue are the ones that go to the tweeter.

just thru this up for another thread in case you needed it still. also the one time use clips are just that. on mine i used some push in style plastic pins from auto zone, unscrewed the single screw that holds the one time use clip ( not to get it out cause it just slips out but to mount the new push in clip in its place and hold steady) put in the push pin, tightend the screw back to hold it in place and now i can remove the a pillar when ever i want and not have to keep replacing the pin. it has no more holding power than the factory one did so it will be fine if the air bag needs to deploy but it can just be pulled out and not replaced everytime. make sure you get the ones that are a little fatter cause the smaller ones are just a little too small to hold it in at the top of the a pillar.

Awesome. I still haven't installed the speakers, which wont happen till sometime after the month of August. Oh well..I'm a patient man.
I did pick up the clips already from Honda, as I was expecting to install these a couple of weeks ago. For all four clips it was less than $8. Which does suck, but I was expecting worse. But if I won't be getting those the next time
