2G Hard wire dash speakers?

[mitsumike0]

Hey all, here's a quick rundown on the situation. Car is a 97 gsx that I bought from someone over 2 years ago. The sound system on this car has always been pretty sucky. All the speakers worked but I thought the gsx's came with the infinity sound from the get go. So I look under my passenger seat for an amp and I see that the harness pig tail for the amp was cut!
Anyways I get a new pigtail and solder all the wires together, put in a stock amp and put in the stock infinity deck. Now the car has 90% sound to the rear and 10% sound going through the door speakers. I try to balance the sound more towards the front and the sound completely cuts. Front dash tweeters have no sound comming from them at all. This might mean that the amp i got has the internal crossover no good or some other internal problem
I'm sick of having so sound system. I like to listen to my music so I'm probably going to get an aftermarket deck. However, I've been reading that going in this direction still means rear speaker bias. I dont mind balancing the sound to mean it "sound" even but that still means no dash speakers will be working. Ive read that another option was to hard wire the dash speakers to the door speakers and put a bass blocker to the dash speakers so I don't blow them. Since they work in parallel but Is that practical? Any other methods around this? All the posts about this are pretty old and I'm just wondering if there is a more modern way to do it?

Wire them in parallel and your good. I would find the stock wiring behind the stereo and wire them together there. In the 90's, Infinity was a great system but now days, you can go Kenwood, JVC, Sony etc and that is what all of my DSM's have. I would take the cover off the dash and just make sure there are speakers in there (if you can see the wire colors, write them down). My car doesn't have dash speakers, only door and rear.

Quick update. I reinstalled the previous radio and took the infinity deck and amp out. Speakers sound much better but tweeters don't work. I'm going to hardwire them with some bass blockers and call it a day

What bass blockers do you use? The time I tried them, they didn't seem to work too well. They had a very gradual rolloff, and they affected the sound above the cutoff point. After that, I decided I would stick to active equalizers to do anything like that.
