Needing help with speaker wiring. Reading through WhiteBird00's excellent thread on the Monsoon system and speaker wiring, it says Firebird Coupe tweeters aren't powered by the amp, but instead handled by the head unit, however in the wiring connections list, I can't seem to find what color wires go from the head unit to the tweeters. It has listed front and rear connections, but according to the explanation that would be the mids, and I assume the tweets wouldn't be included in that, correct? Can anyone tell me what colored wires are tweeter only? I replaced all the component speakers and am wanted to add a little power to those only.
Thanks.
Thanks.

The front and rear tweeters have the same wire colors as the four channels of output from the head unit. GM tends to be pretty consistent with wiring colors so that if there isn't any device in between (like a switch, light bulb, or in this case an amp), the wire color will stay the same throughout the circuit.
So the tweeter wire colors are:
TAN = left front positive
GRAY = left front negative
LIGHT GREEN = right front positive
DARK GREEN = right front negative
BROWN = left rear positive
YELLOW = left rear negative
DARK BLUE = right rear positive
LIGHT BLUE = right rear negative
