Does anyone who has done their own install know how the SVX factory speakers are set up? Where do the wires from the dash tweeters and door speakers meet up? Or do both sets go all the way into the headunit with the stereo itself doing the crossover?

The stock radio (and its harness) only has 4 speaker outputs. Behind the dash, the tweeters branch off from the front speaker wires. They're wired in parallel. On the back of each tweeter is a capacitor that serves as a high-pass filter. The door speakers get full range (no low-pass filter).
Most SVXs without tweeters still have the connectors below the grills (although I've heard that some SVXs in Europe do not have the tweeter wiring).
According to Subaru's
wiring diagram, some of the wire colors change between the radio and the front speakers and tweeters.
