2015 Silverado Dash Tweeter upgrade?

[Zori Marfazelian]

Im almost done with the full system in my 2015 Silvy and I want to upgrade my dash tweeters but i do not know how to go about it. Here is my setup:

 

(2) Focal ICU 690- Front doors

(2) Focal ICU 165- Rear doors

 

Skar Audio RP-75.4AB 4 Channel

Euphoria MX 2000.1 Mono

 

(2) Skar Audio DDX-10 subwoofers 

 

Audio Control LC7i

 

Now I want to upgrade the dash tweeters too since everything is upgraded. As of now those tweeters are controlled by the factory HU. Mounting and a little fabrication of a new set is not a problem for me. Is it possible to tap into the existing wires and run the new tweeters off of the stock HU? I know it will not make a huge difference but i just do not want to go through the whole crossover hassle. I basically want an upgrade from the stock tweeters and for the truck to do the same thing its doing but too a better tweeter. Is this possible? Or do i need a crossover and all that other good stuff? Also, if it is possible, what recommendations are there for a good set or should I just go Focal all around?

You need to run the tweets off a crossover. You can store the crossover that comes with them behind the radio. Unless you. The stock is a speaker with bass blocker.

Damn, i really dont know how to install a crossover well its because im not using the stock harness for my speakers. I routed completely new 12 gauge wires through the truck and basically have the 4 channel solely controlling the Focals. This is also because i dont want to touch any of the stock wiring just so in the future i can convert everything to stock. Now i know that (highly think im wrong) the tweeters have to work with the door speakers via crossover. But how will i combine them when im not using the stock wiring?

You can route wiring from the crossover up the dash for the back. It may be a chore but it will accomplish what you want to do> leaving the stock alone. Are you wanting to run the dash speakers off the stock unit or off the amp?

Stock unit. So Focal tweeter come with an inline crossover. Im just gonna tap into the existing wires and connect them to the focal tweeters. Best option

Yeah you'll be ok with that. Keep an eye on distortion from the tweeters. Most only really put out 25 watts before distortion.
