I can't speak with 100% certainty but, the Gen5 front tweeters are simply split off from the door speakers and the crossover is built into the tweeters. I'm assuming the Gen6's are the same. If you're swapping out both the door speakers and tweeters, you can use the existing wiring in the door. You would just have to have the new crossover mounted inside the door and connect the speaker wire coming from the back (that previously connected to the door speaker) to the input of the crossover, have a new short run of speaker wire going to new door speaker from the crossover, and use the existing wire going to the tweets and connect that to the tweet output of the crossover.

I think I did a write up of that whole build on the camaro5 audio forum, if you wanted to do a search there.
