[QUOTE="Lasherž, post: 8705308, member: 679555"] Your photo is only wrong in that you're using both front and rear for the mids, they should only use rear on the head unit while the tweeter takes the front. The rest will be dealt with in the head unit options. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.crutchfield.com/S-jTrjZVhpx28/p_158XAV8000/Sony-XAV-AX8000.html[/URL] "[B]Low-Pass & High-Pass Filter: [/B]The unit's subwoofer preout features a low pass filter with a selectable cut-off frequency of 50Hz, 60Hz, 80Hz, 100Hz, or 120Hz. The front & rear speaker high-level and low-level outputs offer a selectable high-pass crossover frequency of 50Hz, 60Hz, 80Hz, 100Hz, 120Hz, or Off."
