Hi.

I have a 1994 Nissan D21 Hardbody with a 4-channel CY150 stereo from a newer Nissan Frontier.

Right now, I am only driving the two 6.5-inch speakers in the doors, but I picked up a set of tweeters out of a Pathfinder to put into my A-Pillar columns above the dash.

I'd like to wire these into the existing wiring somehow.

Would the tweeters sound best wired in with the 6.5 speakers in the door or by using the separate wires that are for feeding the rear speakers? I know it will be Crap or More Crap, but let's go with the least Crap, OK? :)

Also, I'm working with a PDF version of the 1994 Service Manual, but it looks like someone scanned it in using a fax modem. There is no way for me to read the wiring harness information. Does anyone know where I could pick up something with better detail so I can read the descriptions for wire colors and connector IDs better?

Thanks.

I'd run them off the rear speakers as I believe those tweets have low filters built into them already. Try the FSM page for the 1994 manual in pdf, the 94 truck will be found in the 1994 Pathfinder FSM as they were printed together. www.nicoclub.com/FSM.

Here's a link right to the EL section of the FSM for you.

Nissan also issued a supplemental for the 1994 model year which will be found in the 1995 Pathfinder FSM.

Thanks.

Would you happen to know what the supplemental entails? If not, what section of the 1009 Pathy FSM it can be found in?

The 95 FSM won't refer to the supplement because the info has already been updated.
