Thanks for the advice +rep (not that you really need it :P)

The wires:
Since no one else was replying for the wires I was thinking about mounting the cross overs in the door, I'd still have to run the tweeter wires from the a-pillar down into the door but to do that I would pop off the rubber conduit and use a wire snake to get the wire through it.. It's sounds like removing the dash and mounting the x-overs in there is the optimal solution.

How long does it take to remove the dash? is it difficult to do? I'm sure I can look it up in the FSM (I do have one, I even referenced it in my first post) I have a DCC waiting to be installed too so removing the dash might be good to kill two birds with one stone.

unfortunately my S14 has become my daily driver since I had to sell my pickup back to Toyota for the frame so either I can get this done in a day or I wait until I find myself a new daily driver and can take the car off the road for a few days while I work on it.

The Window:
As for the window I couldn't find window removal/replacement instructions in the FSM. I apologize for being vague. Basically my problem is that when the window is not all the way up it's lose , I can grab it and pull it up and down and push it side to side, because it's loose it also rattles when going up and down and when left open.

the glass has two bolts through the bottom where the window attaches to the mechanism. the bolt nearest the dash is lose, I can see that when I pull and move around the window it moves separately from the metal bracket that it should be solidly bolted to.

I'm not sure if the nut just came lose, or if something else is broken entirely, but I couldn't figure out how to get to it. you recommended removing these nuts first (the ones attached directly to the glass) but how to I get to the one on the dash side of the window?

Thanks again
