[QUOTE="2na Tacos, post: 8697758, member: 679076"] Old dude that installed a lot of automotive stereos back when it was an aftermarket head unit, a power amp, 6x9 3-way speakers. Now I'm trying to figure out a 2017 Fiat Spider ABARTH with a TAU and component speakers and amps. FYI, the 2017 Fiat 124 Spider ABARTH uses the same factory audio components as the 2017 Mazda Miata MX-5. My goal is to get the following components all working: To try and make it a bit easier to help me I have linked each component to a vendor page so you can see details and available settings for each device. [INDENT]1) [URL='https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0728K1GD4/?tag=caraudiocom-20']Rockville db45 four channel amp[/URL], with 2 channels driving a left and right [URL='https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LIRT47Y/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1']Rockville RXM68PRO mid-range speaker[/URL] and two channels driving a left and right [URL='https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MZI2OPE/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1']JBL CLUB750T tweeter[/URL].

If so, any suggestions on setting the filters[/INDENT] [INDENT][/INDENT] [INDENT]2) If I need to use, or should use, the cross-over, same question. What setting to use on the cross-over and what settings on the amp filters.[/INDENT] Thanks! [/QUOTE]
