it's the tweeter i'm worried about f&ckin up..
You're replacing it with an aftermarket one, correct? And you're wanting to run the aftermarket crossover? You will want a surface mount tweeter to go on the bracket it looks like. You won't be screwing it up, you can run speaker wire directly to it from the crossover without using the factory wire. I don't know specifically on the tweeter if there's an adapter that works for the factory wire and an aftermarket crossover.

Also, Crutchfield has a few pictures of the tweeter install on their "My Vehicle" page for a 2006 LC.

Thought I'd post my speaker install that I just did with the help of the search function and compile what I found in several threads that may help others. Here is the link to the door panel removal thread that was very helpful...

thx @zapatius i just don't want to mess up any of the factory wiring that eventually goes to the rears.You're replacing it with an aftermarket one, correct?

i can see going from tweeters<-->crossover and front lowers<-->crossover by just disconnecting their harnesses and using speaker wires; will the remaining stock wiring still provide rear doors sound?

You use the lower connector adapter to not hack it off and connect the bare wire ends to the Xover. Then use your own wire to connect to the woofer and tweeter of your aftermarket speakers.
I'd be very careful of running an aftermarket woofer and stock tweeter on the factory amp. The chance for spectral impedence mismatch is very very high and not great for performance or the amp.

I've blown a front woofer... If going aftermarket, what's the preferred answer to retain the stock amp? Can one just drop in a 6 1/2 inch woofer to replace the lower JBL speaker as long as it's 2 ohm spec? A lot of conflicting info floating around it seems.

Match impedance to stock speaker, replace in pairs, and ensure the mounting depth will still allow window regulator to lower window fully. Job done!
