How Do You Hook Up These Components? - FociPhil - 05-13-2005
So i bought them for the glass panels, but it came with speakers, i plan on buying new one this summer, but i need music in my car ASAP...
my question is how do i hook these bad boys up? like which wire goes where, i plan on splicing them from the stock wire...

do you have the model number so i can look at the site phil?
they just look like theyre pass through style cross overs. from what i can see theyd just go inline on the positve terminal of the tweeter.

The make is FULTRON, and i think the crossovers are Rockford, which it says...
i dont think they are awsome speakers...they seem pretty old...so i dont have the model number...

anybody?? no stereo guru's?
my best guess is splice the stock wire to the IN end of the cross over, then take the OUT end wires of the Xover and connect them to the the 2 terminals side by side on the back of the speaker...
now the tweeters, not sure. It looks liek there are 2 wires coming out of the tweeter, so my BEST guess is one is ground (connect to the hole looking terminal, and the other wire to the last single terminal...
i really would appreciate any help, i wanna try to get these in this weekend, i need music

Phil you really should invest in an amp to power components properly.. but splicing the stock wire will be fine tentatively...

Those crossovers look like theyre just for the tweeters. not the woofers. generally you wont have a crossover for the woofers unless its a high end set.
Wiring wise. you should probably connect the positive terminal of the input (deck,amp... whatever) to the positive terminal on the woofer. and then splice the crossover from the woofer(positive) to the positive of the tweeter. making sure you connect the crossover in the direction it should go (if that makes any sense) and you should be fine connecting the negative of the tweeter back to the negative of the woofer which is technically gonna be connected to the negative stock terminal.
