CROSSOVER HELPPP urgent!

[jbsilentkill 10+ year member]

Ok so i have a 2000 altime gxe which comes stock with a tweeter and 6.5" in each front door.... i have replaced the head unit and the tweets and 6.5"s in the doors but when i did that i didnt install the passive xover they came with on accident.... so now im tired of the popping i hear at high volumes from my tweeters since i didnt put he xovers on.... the xover has one imput wire and then a wire for the tweeter and a wire for the 6.5".... what do i do i have a separate wire running to both from the head unit already but there is only 1 input to connect to???.

do i connect both of my wires running from the HU together to the one input of the xover? or how do i wire that?

you can add a simple 2.2 or 3.3 mfd non-polarized capacitor in line on your positive wire on your tweeters and end the popping //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

another option is mount the crossover inside the door or door panel...but you do need 1 set in and two sets out from it...there is one set in the door already.....

ya but my problem is i aws going to just put the crossovers in since i already have them and i dont have much extra spending money at the moment for a capacitor? so how could i wire the crossovers in my predicament?

you said your stock harness behind the HU has a wire for the tweeter and for the 6.5"? so 4 wires for the front and 2 wires going to the back doors?

this is what is in my doors when i got my car with stock everything..... 1 tweeter and 1 6.5" with separate wires to each of them... idk if they go all the way to the HU separate or if they meet up sum where but when i take off the door panel thats whta i see.... how would i wire these 2 separate wires to the single input of the crossover which will then be connected to the tweet and 6.5" pioneer speakers.... or how could i wire that and get the right amount of power to each speaker?

i just want to wire the crossovers to the front door speakers

It's easy connect the wire for the stock 6.5 coming from the radio/amp to the input on the aftermarket crossover. That's how I have it in my Acura and it sounds perfect. Disconnect the stock wire for the tweeter and use the wires coming from the crossover for your aftermarket mid range speaker and tweeter. PM me if you need any further help.

i replaced the 6.5"s and tweeters tho.... do it the same still?

 

[jaymann107 10+ year member]

Yes the wire that you now have connected to the 6.5, connect that to the input on the crossover. From the crossover connect the wires for the tweeter to the tweeter and the wire for the 6.5 to the 6.5. mount the crossover in the door and you're done.

**** thanks i wasnt sure wat to do really? should i jsut cap the extra wire that was for the tweeter?

 

[jaymann107 10+ year member]

Did you ever get a box made for your sub?

 

[jaymann107 10+ year member]

Yeah cap the stock wire for the tweeter so it does not conatct any metal because there will still be a signal running through those wires.
