Smile Monsoon amp and factory speaker replacement

I have the monsoon system in my NB. I have already installed an aftermarket head unit. I have purchased some Infinity reference 6010c component speakers for the front and Infinity Reference 6012 speakers for the rear. I want to install them but I need to know how to bypass the monsoon amp but still be able to use the factory wiring harness. Is this possible and still get the full range thru the front speakers or do I need to run new speaker wire? If I need to run new wire, has anyone done this, and if so where did you route the wires. I want it to look professional.

Also, has anyone installed component speakers in their NB. If so were did you mount the crossover for the speakers? Pics would be great if you have any. If not thats ok.

That's the exact setup I have (Great sound when all the speakers are ran off a 600W amp), I ran new wires b/c I wanted to use thicker guage wire and the HU I have had three pre-outs (front, rear, sub), so I just had to run wire from the amps I have in the rear to each of the speakers. I spent one good day and pulled out all of the panels and ran the wire behind them. The only thing I had to worry about getting to the back of the HU were the RCA patch cables and remote wire. I assume that if you would want to use the factory wires but not the amp all you would have to do is cut the amp out of it, and connect the wires on both sides of it. Those speakers love power so if you want the best sound out of them then your HU alone will not give then the watts they need, neither will the monsoon amp. At shows I could open my car all up and easily drown out the other music the dj is playing.
