simple question for you guys

[majorpecs]

I am not a sound system guy, have never installed one but have been doing alot of research and was told this board had a bunch of cool guys who could help me out easily.

Here's the situation, I bought a 99 ford and it had the crappiest speakers I've ever heard (ever).

I bought 4 new 6.5 door speakers, 2 tweeters, and a 4 channel 800w amp. This is not high end stuff, I'm not going for rattling off the rear view mirrors on the cars around me, I just want to be able to hear my music in my truck and add a little extra oomph.

I'm keeping the stock head unit which I now know doesn't have the correct connections or a remote wire.

I then bought a PAC 4 channel line converter (as was told I needed to do).

My question is, how does it all hook together.

1) amp power to battery (with a fuse)

2) rca to head unit through converter?

3)speaker cable from amp to each speaker ? (what about the tweeters?)

Sorry if this is really elementary to you guys, I'm working with what I have.

Basically... Power wire with fuse to battery, ground to car chassy, remote wire (in your case) to ign wire, or acc behind stock HU, rca to LOC which should hook into front speaker lines, each channel you plan to run tweet and midbass on should run into a crossover the gives the correct signal to the right driver, if you don't have crossovers you really need to get some. from the crossover will run separate wires to the tweet and to the midbass. That should get you started

Civic, you started to lose me. Please clarify:

1)from the amp I will run speaker cable to a crossover (1 on each side of the truck?)

2)from the crossover I will run speaker cable to each front and tweeter?

3)will i run speaker cable straight from the amp to the rear speakers?
