As near as I can tell, the crossovers for the BASE stereo are on the speakers themselves. The wires ran to each speaker and terminated in a speaker wiring harness. On the speakers themselves (after the connection to harness) is a simple resistor which I assume functions as a passive high pass crossover.

So if I am correct, once you disconnect the stock speakers, you have also removed the stock crossovers. You're left with two sets of wires in parallel without any crossovers (until you add your own).
I was doing a headunit/speaker install last weekend as well and noticed the resistor on speaker for base model. Definitely need spacers for component 6 1/2's in the doors though, as they dont give much depth. My JL's have a 2 1/2 inch mounting depth and looks like they need at least an 1/4 to 3/8 inch spacer.
