    Basically I've been having problems wiring my head unit in the past because the factory harness was cut out of my car and I can't figure out how to get power to the head unit or the ignition wired. I just bought some Crescendo 6.5's and tweeters with a crossover and have no idea how to wire everything.

    I then called up my local car audio store and told him I had 2 crescendo mids and 2 tweeters with a crossover plus a Hifonics 4 channel amp..he said that the amp is unnecessary and went on about something about the High Pass/Mid Pass/Low Pass and I would only have High Pass if I use that amp. If I connected all the speakers to the head unit, then I would have High, Mid, and Low pass. What should I do in this case? I mounted all the speakers and have wires running into the cabin, and the car audio store said they would wire the head unit to the speakers Monday for $60 but I want to do it myself and by tomorrow. Any suggestions? Maybe someone could give me their number and could walk me through this shit hahaha..thanks.

    What he is saying makes no sense to me. If you are running the components with their crossover it is going to filter the music just like the built in crossover of the amp would. Just hook it up, set the crossover on the amp to full and let the component crossover do its job. As far as hooking up the power. Get a test light or a multimeter and find two fuses in your fuse box to wire them too. The 12 volt should have constant power and the acc should turn off when the car is switched off. Simple as that. Try running the constant to your brake light fuse and your acc to the radio fuse. Should be good to go.
