Are you going to be upgrading all 4 door speakers? And the front tweeters? I believe you'll need a crossover, for the front if you getting new tweeters installed. If im not mistaken I think I've seen some posts about how there's a way to hack the factory amp, for new speakers but I mean at that point you'll prob be under powering your new speakers.

at this point i don't think ill install new tweeters, I had an aftermarket radio installed by a geeksquad tech and he made it sound like he knows all because he "has two IS300s and blah blah blah" and i think they had to bypass the amp? i knew they couldn't get the sub to work any way they tried so he just told me he bypassed it all together. but I've replaced speakers on simpler cars (admittedly) so i didn't think its too complicated on my GS? like i said i just want to add 6.5" 3 way speakers and I'm doing half the car at a time so id like to start with the front doors.
Only DIY ive been able to find really is some guy putting in JL speakers and he didnt really show how he wired it all in just the completed job.

This should help, it's taken from the same thread.
Quoted from Mr. Jokster
"Thats the wire going to the tweeter in the A-Pillar. Thats why I say you'll loose that tweeter by sourcing the signal from the orange plug. Its been a while since I've had mine opened, I cant remember where the crossover point is. I do remember there are wires coming from the speaker inside going to the pink/purple plug to send the signal to the tweeter. You can do the same and run wires from your speaker to the pink/purple wires to send the signal to the tweeters, just use a capacitor to block the bass. I removed the plug from the baffle itself and utilized it to feed signal to the speakers as to not cut any wires."

thats what i was hoping i could do is just find a way to retain the wiring plugs so i don't have to mess with signals coming from the stock amp

Yes a harness, here's a picture of what my friend got when he ordered his speakers and harness. When you add the speakers to cart it should give you the option there, if not contact the customer support they should be able to set it up for you no problem.
