Default Running wire for tweeters on 2015

Hey guys are you running new wires for your components up front for the tweeters. If so how. Are you tapping some other wire or are your running thru the molex connector.
Thanks
Dan

Unless you are pushing high power to them just use the factory wiring

Just take the pillar trim panel off and snake the wires down behind the dash and they should pop out near the floor.

the factory tweeters are wired in parallel with the door speakers at the door jam Molex connector. I put my crossovers behind the radio in the dash, used factory wire to the door mids and then ran new wire to the tweeters in the door pillars.

I ran ALL new speaker wire to all speaker locations in my truck. 14ga to all 4 doors, and 16ga to the center speaker and the tweeters on the pillars. While I have my truck apart I also ran the Stinger Speedwire to connect to the parrot harness to be able to send the signal to the DSP. All wires were then routed down the left side of the truck while the right is reserved for the power wire alone......
I am using Image Dynamics 6 3/4" components in the front doors, mid woofer and tweeter, and another set of tweeters in the A pillars, 3 1/2" Infinity Kappa 300M in the center location, and 6 3/4" mid woofers in the rear doors. Tweeters in the A pillar are active rather than passive...
