Okay so ive just now realized i did my component system install completely wrong! OH NO!

Heres how i had them wired. Wires from speaker amp (used factory 18 gauge from stock amp) to the doors. Ran tweeters in FACTORY location but used aftermarket wires. I have the stock TWTR (tweeter) wire running into the INPUT TWTR + and - on my crossover. (Thats how the Roxkford T2 manual says to do it) Im running my OUT TWTR = and - to the tweetersAnd im running my Mid range woofer in the factory locationI KNOW THAT IS REALLY BAD I KNOW I KNOW.(I thought the car had a factory crossover or something but found out otherwise)

Okay so my question is IS THSI THE RIGHT WAY TO HOOK UP A COMPONENT SYSTEM IN MY CAR? Please help i think the is right im just making sure...also....any advice on how to mount the crossovers in my door? I tried using just the sticky tape that comeso n them and it SUCKS. And the screws the gave me arent even long enough....WTF?

Duck is correct.

Check the biamp switch.

Edit- and you have a amp, then why does it say stock wires??? I'm a little lost?

Stock wires are 18 gauge. And my cars fucking WAYYY too complicated to run new door speaker wires. I really dont wanna mess with it.

Here is a diagram of the way i have it set up

Basically the whole thing is fucked up.

There are 2 sets of pos and neg for each side running into the rear of the car TO the stock amp. I split them in the rear, and so now the wires coming out of the stock amp are going into my AudioControl LC2i. The FACTORY 18 GAUGE WIRES THAT GO INTO THE DOORS are running into my Coustic Power Logic 360. Running new wires into my doors is OUT of the question, cant and wont do it. When i get into my door i see there is a wire going into the stock tweeter that splits somewhere inside the door. I DO NOT KNOW WHERE and im not taking my door apart to find out. Ive tried hooking up those damn crossovers every which way but i still cant figure out how they work.

Basically what im doing right now is just using the STOCK TWEETER WIRE and putting that into the pos and neg on my input TWTR. And then output going to my tweeter. That is the ONLY way it works. Ive tried hooking up the WFR output and it does not even work. No sound. Ive tried hooking up the 18 gauge WFR wire from the amp into the crossover input and outputs to tweeter and woofer ya da ya da. NOTHING WORKS PLEASE HELP

Looking through this thread it seems there's a whole lot of I can't and I won't...your asking us to help you but you seem unwilling to do anything to find it yourself. for your answer, you may just have to take the door apart and trace the wires man.
