[QUOTE="Ingleside, post: 1326111, member: 564756"] hey there. i had a few questions on setting up my system. I have a set of MB Quart QM218.61 6.5" components that i finally want to install in my car but i lost the documents that came w/ the speakers and want to double check the wiring. I have an Alpine F345 4-way amp that specs out at 75x4 with the birth sheets rating it at 103x4. The crossovers have two inputs and two outputs (high and low) along with a jumper for a normal set up or a bi-amped set up. I'm thinking of running each chanel to each speaker so Ch 1 goes to the driver side tweeter, Ch 2 to the passenger side tweeter, Ch 3 to the driver mid and Ch 4 to the passenger mid. The FRONT outputs on the deck would run to 1/2 in on the amp and the REAR outputs to the 3/4. This way each door would be getting the assumed 206 watts RMS. This would require me to switch the jumper to "bi-amp" right? The specs on the MB Quart box say 90w RMS to 170w RMS. Will i be safe running close to 200w? Another thing. What setting would i have to use on my headunit. I have an Alpine 9855 with the 2-way/3-way switch. from the description in the manual it seems like i should run the 3-way set up. TIA [/QUOTE]
