Install and Active Set-up Questions with Pioneer 880 prs

[kngo22086 10+ year member]

I'm running Infinity Component 6.5" Speakers in the front. How would i amplify the tweeters on the component? Do i have to run the speaker wire to my 4-channel amp to the "rear" output? Also, is there anything i should know before i install them today. I'm hearing about something about the grounds and/or RCAs while searching here but i just want to be sure. Thanks in advance.

How can you run active without running power to each speaker individually?

You need 4 channels of amplification for your front stage alone in a 2 way-active setup.

yes thats what i'm doing. my mids to the "front" output of my amp and tweets to the "rear" output. So do i send my speaker wire from the tweeter to the amp?

Yes... how else would you get the high frequencies to them?

Some have had success in avoiding the ground loop issue internally by grounding the rca's to the chassis of the HU. You may want to try that but be fore-warned that I had noise when I did that, I removed the grounds and the noise was gone.
