Run separate wires from the Kenwoods and tweeters to the amp. Kenwoods off one pair of channels tweets off the other pair, with the crossovers. You don't need crossovers for the 3-ways. Use 'Y' cables to connect the front RCA's to both sets of amp channels.

Ill try and lend my hand as I dont you are getting the correct answers, yet. It looks to me like your running passive, which is easier, less processing.. but if you arent then dont follow any of the install ahead.

This is for a PASSIVE set-up.

So, left (driver side door) Wire positive and negative wire of component speaker to indicated spot on crossover, on same side. Then, do the same for the tweeter wires. Now, there is a power ( positive and negative) wire on the crossover. These wires lead all the way to the amp terminal channels. Specifically wire the front driver side to the 1st channel. In parrallel ( i believe, or Positive of crossover to positive of amp terminal channel and then, obviously, negative of crossover to negative of amp terminal channel. Now, AGAIN, these should be on channel 1. Now passenger side, do the same as said above, but wire crossover power and negative wire to amps respective 2nd terminal channels.

RCA's from hu to amps rca input (channel 1 and 2).. one thing to keep in mind is to make certain you designate the color wire to its respective (left or right) side and match on amps input rca terminal..

Active 3 way.

Never done this before, so be skeptical haha. But i believe you just take postive and neg wires from all speakers and tweeters directly to amp.. but furthermore, ask an expert haha

That should do it //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif now make a solid ground.. hope this helps bro, if not keep posting questions!

From your diagram -

A - left tweeter - ch1 speaker

B - right tweeter - ch2 speaker

C - left kenwood - ch3 speaker

D - right kenwood - ch4 speaker

RCA left to both ch1 and ch3 input

RCA right to both ch2 and ch4 input

gain for channels 1+2 will control tweeter level

gain for channels 3+4 will control kenwoods
