i would say higher ,as the front is basically a 3 way way front. i removed it it could not really tell it was removed ,so im betting 5000 hz
considering in the gen 1 2 way system, the tweeters were visible down to 1600hz, i have a feeling they went lower than needed for more overlap in the midrange frequency. thats why it sounds like crap when the volume is higher

The fronts in the unleashed r a 3 way
Woofer , door , mids dash , and tweeter a pillar . From what I can tell , the doors r 200 , mids r 120-5000 , tweeted r 2500

2500 is really low for a tweeter. generally about 3500 is as low as you want to go, however this is an oem system we are talking about

I actually did some testing the oems have a 7.5 cap the tweeter is 4 ohm , crossover looks to be 5000 so at 2500 hz should be 6 db lower based on the first order capacitor, then 12 db lower at 1250 hz .im going to use a 10 uf cap @ 4 ohms should be 4000 hz crossover
