Make: Acura

Model: 3.2 TL with nav/stock deck

Year: 1999

I've got a Kicker KX650.4 amp, one 15" MB Quart RWE-354 sub for the trunk, and a set of Phoenix Gold Xenon X5.0 speakers for the front (I plan to disable the stock rear speakers).

What is the ideal way to wire these 3 speakers to my amp?

What is the best placement for the Xenon crossover?

I'm keeping the stock deck, therefore I need an L.O.C., correct?

I will also be ditching the stock open air sub, and bypassing the Bose EQ.

With that sub and amp you'll have to wire for 8-ohms to bridge channels 3 and 4 (or wire one VC to each of channels 3 and 4) and use channels 1 and 2 for the front mains. Yes, you should use an LOC. Be sure to set your gain properly.

Thank you so much for the speedy reply.

To run the fronts to channels 1 and 2, do I wire the speakers together at all or each speaker straight to the amp?

One woofer and one tweeter connects to one crossover, and that crossover connects to one channel of the amp.
