component wiring need help!

[papito 10+ year member]

so my crossovers INPUT side has both + and - for the woofer and tweeter.....

so how would i wire this, to a bridged 4 ch amp? most components just have one + and - input, while this one has 2....is that cause it's supposed to be ran active? Should i just use my 4 ch amp by hooking up 2 channels to the tweeter inputs on the Xover, and 2 other channels to the woofer inputs on the Xover?

A pic of the crossover (with the cover removed) would help.

you can kind of see it in this pic, this is what the "IN" side looks like...the out is the same, but thats pretty straight forward to wire.

it has a by amp capability just hook up the input through the woofer input and there should be a pin inside the xover that you need to change it's around the attenuation pins you want it on the one that does not say byamp.

What do you mean? The Xover has nothing about a Pin, just tweeter level adjust (dB)

just use a seperate channel from your amp, and tune that channel for the tweets??

it will be fine to set it up that way, youll be in 2 way active with that which is actually better

ok so im just going to do that, hope nothing gets ****ed up.

also, about mounting them, my car only has 1 hole to mount up a speaker b/c stock ones use a harness....would i be OK mounting these up with 1 screw up top? how else would I do it?

you could always get some self-drilling/tapping screws and make some new holes to mount them, or find a way to modify the old mount to fit the new speaker. usually involves destroying the old speaker
