    Default Soundstream rubicon crossover HELP!

    Ive got these 6.5" splits that i want to install but the crossovers seem way to complicated for me..

    INPUTS:
    One side has: (in order) W+ W- IN + IN -

    The other side: (in order) TW - 0dB -3dB -6dB

    How the hell do i connect my speakers to these and which wires go where??

    Amp goes to IN.
    Woofer goes to W.
    Tweeter goes to TW and pick one of the numbers. 0dB is normal, the others make the tweeters quieter.

    Thanks mate.. So TW must be positive then and the other negative? I'm wanting to hook up an amp soon but not straight away, do you know if this will damage the speakers in any way?

    Usually, the tweeter connections will have a + or - or both as well... If it doesn't you might need to find the instructions or contact a store that deals with SS.

    Hooking them up backwards wont cause any damage, they just wont sound right.

    yes, they will explode, just like the stock speakers do.

    Not if you don't turn the headunit up to max, or turn the bass + loudness right up or anything silly like that
