Thread: wiring spx-17ref speakers

Im a little confused on how to wire the speakers properly. I though u had to run wire from the woofer and tweeter to the crossover but on the woofer itself theres a tweeter hookup. so do i just hook the tweeter to that then run the woofer wire to the crossover? ive got one 4 channel supplying all four speakers by the way.

On the first page there, follow the "bi-wiring" setup.

im wiring 4 speakers with one amp though so should i follow the first one, and i guess i shouldnt worry about the tweeter hookup on the woofer?

follow the bi wiring write up one... the one amp has four channels right?

yea exactly, so i should follow the single input because i only have 4 channels one for each speaker so wouldnt that be the one to follow?

no, do the bi wire.

Technically it wont do much, you could just do the single wire and bridge your amp if it supports it.


thats what i'd do if i were you.

i dont understand how can i do the bi wire if one speaker will take up two inputs on my amp out of my 4. how will i be able to hook all 4 of them up? and what do u mean by bridging my amp sorry im a total rookie at this **** learning as i go, thanks for the advice

o i think i just read something regarding bi-wiring. So im from the crossover i have two sets of wires but i connect them both to one channel on my amp? what is the difference anyway if i did not do this and only went with a single input?

If you've got four channels on your amp, just hook the two left ones to the left crossover and the two right ones to the right channel crossover.

hey i have a question, im doing the single input, but i ran my tweeter wire and woofer wire to my crossover, then a single wire from the woofer to the amp. the tweeters dont work just my woofer any suggestions why that is?

based on the link in your OP it looks like theres a link between the inputs and the outputs, make sure thats engaged.

The proper thing to do would be take another set of wires and do a dual input and put those wires on another channel of your amp

thanks buddy, took out one of the jumpers and it worked! haha system sounds pretty good ill put some pics up soon
