[QUOTE="Beerdrnkr, post: 8605138, member: 568055"] It's a little late but I'll help you anyway. So you want to flatten your EQ and turn off any bass boost, etc from your HU. After that's done, send all three preamp outputs from your deck into the line level inputs on the audiocontrol unit. Don't think of the RCA outputs as front or rear, just think of them as output 1,2,3,4, etc. After running RCA's to the audiocontrol inputs, send RCA's from your audiocontrol outputs 1 and 2 to your 4ch amp. It'll either say 1 and 2 or front and rear on the 4ch amp. Just pick 1 and 2 or front. Hook 1-2 or front as your tweeters and run speaker wiring to your tweeters accordingly. Run a second pair of RCA's from your audiocontrol outputs 3-4 to your 4ch amp inputs 3-4 or rear. Wire your midrange to that amp accordingly. Run the third pair of RCA's from your audiocontrol outputs 5-6 to your 2ch amp inputs. Wire that amp to your midbass. Ditch the crossovers for the speakers since the audiocontrol will let you run active. You don't have to make channels 1-2 for tweeters, 3-4 for midrange, etc, it's just the way that I like to do it. You can switch them around however you'd like. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
