    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.

    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.

    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.

    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
