Quick Question About Installation Of Components


DGold

Recommended Posts

Please move this if in the wrong sections pls/thanks.

This may be a very novice question but it was a though I came across while sitting here, I am not near my components to look or read the manual if its in there but here goes.

I noticed my crossover has input for the tweeters and midbass, a positive and negative for each. For the moment I will be running my mids and highs off my head unit. My question is I only have 1 set of pos/neg wires coming from the head unit so how do I put the wiring for a pos and negative for the midbass woofer and the tweeter? I know of a few ways I may be able to do it but what's the best way? Thanks guys, sorry if this is a stupid question. First comp set I've ever installed.

thats there so if u want to by amp them in the future most of the time u will just use the woofer input if u are not going to use seperate amps. Just look at your manual when u get a chance and it should have a diagram in it explaining it in more detail.

I figured it would but I'm too impatient. So just wire in through the woofer and the tweeter will work aswell? Would I need to get a bass blocker?

yeah just wire it to the woofer input and no you will not need a bass blocker that is what a crossover does is breaks the freq's into the right speaker
