[QUOTE="gamehawk55, post: 8070437, member: 645990"] It's not that the woofer doesn't have a crossover, it does (right side in picture). But there are no settings for that crossover. This crossover network acts the same as any other does, except that it's split into two seperate boxes instead of one big box so that you can install them in seperate locations if you dont have the room to install them together like I did. It's wired as such. Woofer +/- to (W+/-) on woofer x-over box (right) Tweeter +/- to (T+/-) on Tweeter x-over (left) Amp wires - 1 set +/- to (IN+/- on woofer x-over) then wired in parallel from IN+/- of woofer x-over to IN+/- of tweeter x-over (done for each door) According to the manual that is one of the ways they should be wired. The other way uses 4 channels instead of 2. One set of +/- to Woofer IN and another set to the Tweeter IN (2 Channels for each door). From another forum where people were installing these speakers the general install method seemed to be the 1 set method bridging the x-overs together and nobody complained about the tweeter x-over settings not working with this wiring method.
