Well all I did was take off my front doors panel...splice the -&+speaker wire an that was all ..an just use the head unit to set it..i come wit a resistor so u have nuttin to worry about..just don't hoop them up wrong cause they will burn out

I' m not sure what a crossover is. Yes I spliced them to my existing wires.

To avoid cutting the wire that connects the main speakers, to install this you'll probably need an adapter that converts the two speakers outputs in four - can get very cheap adapter on Amazon, specifying the make and model of your vehicle - or just cut the wire that connects to the main speakers. You just have to decide where you will place the tweeters.

They have separate crossover resisters you can wire in that come with it. Overall decent sound with stock crossovers I used in my blazer.

The "auto on" feature should work even if speaker wire is used to connect the sub to the receiver. I used a sub coaxial cable to connect the receiver to the sub and the receiver outputs for front speakers. This is the preferred method. However, if the sub out via coaxial cable is not available from the receiver, the front speakers need to be connected through the sub. There are speaker inputs on the sub to be connected from the receiver and "out to speakers" connections on the sub for the front speakers.

I actually just wired it into the B Channel connections and have had no problems...works great and that was the easiest way of wiring it. so, my speakers are in the A, the sub is in the B and I just flip the switch to A&B.; Hope that helps.

No you remove the gold plated bridge between the highs and lows were the speaker wire connects. Then you run individual speaker wires from the reciever to them so using four channels instead of two. You can change the internal crossover with the receiver settings in the reciever. My marantzs has a diagram on the internet which can be downloaded.

The extra tweeters should be fed from a crossover from the front channel speakers as a "component" set. The wiring from the head unit wouldn't be affected by this, it'd wire up to the source or the amp as if it's a 4-speaker system.

I don't see why not? you will just have to splice the wire to the speakers since it has it's ownconnection. only thing though is if the surround would be able to drive your new speaker?ig: enough power or same impedance or not, you should find out first cause I don't know if that is relevant or not.....hope this helps......

No, you will need to provide the speaker wire. I bought 16 ga Monster Cable because I was separating the speakers by quite a distance and wanted the best conductors I could get. Also, you will have to provide the wire from the subwoofer to your receiver. The speakers really sound great.

You would have to connect direct to your stereo. You can run the extra speaker wire from the same outlets.

Forget about the wire, it will not help. If you have not purchased these speakers I recommend that you don't. If you have, I recommend that you send them back. The sound quality is really bad compared to others that I've heard, in fact, the ones that I purchased are somewhere in storage in my garage. You would be better off going to Lows.

well i believe that is exactly what it is supposed to do; mine is connected directly to the wires that drive my front speakers and it works exactly as expected. Speaker signals can be viewed as a high-level signal, this just lowers that signal's amplification down to what is considered low-level signal so that it can amplified separately from your stereo's amplifier. Otherwise the signal would be amplified twice causing signal clipping/distortion which not only sounds horrible but could overload the amp.

No, Question for you. Did you use all 20ish feet of wire that shipped with the speakers, If so, that is most likely your problem, use as short of wire are possible to reduce the chances of electrical signals feeding into the speaker wire. I took that wiring and threw it in the garbage, grabbed some slightly thicker wire cut it to about 5 inches for signal and ground then soldered the crap out of everything and covered it with shrink wrap. I also reused the OEM connectors.

you need a two way cross over. or two audio out puts. one output for the amp and speakers and one output for the subwoofer. you might be able to use the output on the subwoofer to go to the amp for the speakers

you would need an amp and connect the speaker wire from the amp to the speakers

I also need help with this. My new home is wired for speakers but has standard speaker wire. Anyway to get the plugs for this system to add on?

What kind of truck do you have? I don't see why not. These speakers really surprised me for the price. If I were hooking up 2 I would buy 2 separate amp wiring kits (I used the 8 guage kit) I wouldn't try to bridge the 2 speakers with 1 wiring kit. And just wire it up like any other amp kit. Hot and ground are easy.....speaker wires I would mate with your rear speakers (unless you have a after market head unit with RCA inputs......The blue remote wire, just find a ACC supported wire. Hope this helps.
