Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
I don't know much about car sound (I'm more into home hifi and band equipment, recording etc), but it looks fairly straightforward in your pics.
The In+ and In- terminals are the input to the crossover, and connects to the amplifier's speaker outputs.
Next to that you have the W+ and W- terminals. These connect to the woofers.
On the other side of the crossover is the TW-, 0dB, -3dB and -6dB terminals. This might look a bit confusing, but it's not that bad really. Basically, they are giving you three options for your tweeter volume so that you can get them to balance well with the woofer volume. I have seen some home hifi speakers made like this.
The TW- terminal connects to the tweeter's negative wire. Then the tweeter's positive wire connects to either 0db (normal), -3dB (a bit quieter) or -6dB (the quietest option), depending on personal preference.
Will the tweeters be mounted next to the woofers? If so, I would go with 0dB. This should give a well balanced sound, but if you think it sounds too tinny or trebly, you can back off the tweeters a bit by connecting to -3.
If the tweeters will be mounted away from the woofers and fairly close to ear level, you might want to go with the quietest tweeter option (-6dB).
Don't mix up the tweeter and woofer connections, or the tweeters will probably get fried (they don't handle much power at all compared to woofers).
I hope I haven't confused the issue. If in doubt, you might be able to find the installation manual for them on the internet.
hey man im the guy that owns the speakers.thanx alot for helping me out.i had no idea idea what to do,u would think they'd give me a manual wouldnt ya lol.thanx again mate cheers.
No worries, hope they sound good. I forgot to say to check & double check that you have the + and - polarities right on every connection, so that all the speakers move forward and backward in sync with each other. Otherwise some of the soundwaves cancel each other out, resulting in a bit of a gutless sound, especially the bass.
ok cheers mate!! its all done. (sounds mad)its all good
ive got them in the front and im hooking up my other splits(type r)alpines in the back doors and havin my hertz in the parcel shelf! cheers buddy!!
