However, it requires extra amp channels to do so and crossovers that will split off only tweeter range high-pass to the tweets and typically band-pass to the mids (below the tweets, and above the sub).

Not to confuse too much but basically if I understand how these premium sound Si's run, there's just four channels to the oem amp from head unit (standard garden variety front/rear left/right), then those are split into seven from the oem amp (2 tweets, 2 mids, 2 rears, 1 sub).

I'd be glad to try to pull this into visio and draw this diagram up and post it to see if I'm correct with colors, etc.. I think it might help us all.. I just need to verify the pinouts and colors. Don't know also if there's differences from year to year with these premium sound setups.

Looking at the wiring diagram there is no connections to tweeters from the Amp. If I am right, the 7 channel theory is wrong! Poosibily the OEM Amp is either 5 channel or 6 channel with internal bridging of 5 and 6 for subwoofer.

There should be around 23w RMS per channel and the subwoofer around 45w RMS, which translates to 50w/channel + 150w/subwoofer at peak. A total of 350w as Honda lists
