    Default Component Speaker Wiring?

    Well, i have my woofers installed in the doors and the tweeters are mounted where i want them and all i need to do now is connect everything to the splitters and head unit.
    So which wires are the input wires from the head unit? And where do i find the stock speaker wires? I have just hooked the new woofers up to the stock wiring.
    The splitters are bigger than i expected and im having a hard time figuring out where to mount them.
    Does anyone have any photos or diagrams that could help me connect these component speakers? Im really bad with electrical things and i don't want to wire the wrong things and blow the speakers up.

    Thanks!

    hey mate, i think your talking about the cross overs when you say splitters yeah?
    If so, just put the stock wiring from the h/u into the spot on the cross over that says amplifier, then tweeter into tweeter and woofer into woofer.. you could mount it on the inside of your door trim, on the inside bit of where the arm rest is.
    Cheers.

    Well, all is good, i finished installing them today and they WORK! So im happy right now. Just one question, on the crossovers there is a little switch that says -3db and +3db. What does this switch do? Im guessing it will make them louder if i switch it to +3db, but is there any disadvantages with this switch? I just have it set inbetween at the moment.

    Thats for the tweeters. Some tweeters are to loud and as such you get too much high frequency. Best way to set this is to turn on your music at full volume and listen to each setting.
