Let's not forget here that the use of the factory tweeters would require the use of the factory amplifier!

This will cause you a world of headaches trying to rewire everything so that you can run your amp inputs from the headunit and then the amp outputs to the rest of the speakers...all of that trouble for sub-par sound quality when compared to the setup that could be had for the price of the factory aplifier/tweeters and your time to rewire everything.

This would be a curse in your situation to put the amplifier in, consider it a blessing that you do not have to deal with that.

To go a little off topic in the direction of the factory amplifier:
I consider it a blessing that I have a factory amplifier while performing my install. I can just hookup all of my speakers/tweeters to the factory wiring and then run my amp wiring from my 4ch. directly to my crossovers in the trunk while running my crossover inputs to the outputs of the factory amplifier.

Also, since I am avoiding the use of an aftermarket headunit by using the JL audio cleansweep, I can easily get the Cleansweep's signal by connecting all of its speaker wire to the inputs of the factory amplifier. And to get signal for my subwoofer amplifier, I can connect a line-output converter to the factory subwoofer amplifier inputs, and TA DA! I will be able to control my aftermarket sub-level with the factory subwoofer controls.
