I have, with your help, finally decided on the cabling layout for the speakers. The crossover will be mounted in the door (does the interior of the door see much water when it rains, do I need to put the crossover in a baggie?) I'll be using the factory woofer cable to feed the crossover with a short cable within the door to the woofer and longer cable from the crossover along the door's main wiring harness into the kick panel and then to the tweeter. Running the new tweeter wires through rubber conduit linking the door to the kick panel would be my first choice but it looks tricky, can it be easily done or is the preferred choice to run the tweeter wires along the outside of the rubber conduit I like to take my time on this stuff, I like a clean installation. I was able to install the passenger side tweeter and woofer and Dynamat the door too. The car is immobile and the garage is a mess and I won't be able to do much more on it before Monday.

Sounds like your really given er on the mods nice work, why put the crossover inside the door? Put it in the kick panels down low in the foot well, no matter how you do it you have to run one wire through the door, if you put the crossover in the door then you will have two wires going through the door. One for the tweeter one from the amp, install the crossover in the kickpanel and pull the woofer wire through the door then your done.
I thought you were keeping the factory HU? Oops must have missed that part. Nice to see someone taking on their own car, it's really not that hard when you have a resource like the people on this forum.
