The factory wiring being crossed-over in the amplifier is not common in any honda vehicles. To check for this have a look at the factory tweeter itself. If you see a small capacitor attached to the tweeter itself then the signal being sent to it from the amplifier is full range and that small cap is the factory honda passive crossover. If there is no cap then it is likely crossed over however, the factory honda crossover frequencies may not be what is optimum for your aftermarket tweeters and wiring them as so could cause damage to the tweeters. The only way to be certain of what the crossover frequencies are is to RTA them to measure the frequency range of each individual channel. The included crossovers are optimized to work with the drivers they came with so you would most likely notice better sound if using the included crossovers. Not to mention we do not know the continuous power output of the factory radio or amplifier so it is possible to overdrive them without knowing and damage your aftermarket tweeters. The crossovers function as more then just frequency separation they also will include tweeter protection in most cases.
