[QUOTE="Jepalan, post: 8368885, member: 655519"] Your headunit only has one set of RCAs, and you can either use them as full range outputs or sub-only outputs. You can connect the HU in one of two ways: 1) Set HU RCA outs to full-range mode. Connect L/R RCAs to CH1/2 and CH3/4 input using y-splitters. Use CH1/2 for fronts and bridge Ch3/4 for sub. Set Ch1/2 filter to highpass at ~80Hz Set CH3/4 to lowpass at ~80Hz OR you can connect this way: 2) Connect HU front speaker outputs to CH1/2 high-level speaker inputs on the amp (you do not need a LOC, amp has speaker level inputs too). Set HU RCA outputs to SUB mode and connect to CH3/4 Set amp HP and LP filters same as noted above. I prefer the second method^ because it retains headunit fader and sub control. You will be fine running rears off HU. You only want a little fill from rears anyway. I see it is a 2003 Accord EX. The factory tweeters have their own inline crossover cap so you can connect them to the CH1/2 outs with the midbass speakers without needing anything else. Here is a pic of your tweets - the capacitor is the little round thing at the bottom so you are good to go.
