well, youd have to find the crossovers, and run the speakers to the crossovers and then run that to the amp, and considering how much of a pain it might be finding the crossovers, since your doing the wiring anyway, i would just get a new set of speakers if i were you.

as far a i know with the stock pioneer system in the cobalt the stock amp is a 6 channel? i am pretty sure that i read that on here. the head unit goes into the stock amp and then the amp controls the speakers and the stock 10" sub.

no crossovers in the stock system sry

Raven already took it to PM so we will get it all straightened out but heres a basic idea from the FAQ for anyone else wondering. I can go more into detail but thats a quick version of what you would be looking at
