It sounds like you have them wired correctly. Amp to crossover, then wires to each set of speakers from the crossover. I would double-check the wiring, make sure you have the correct polarity (positive to positive, etc.) for the tweets, and look for pinched wires. Also make sure the amp does not have a low-pass crossover set up, because that would cut out the high frequencies.

well i just connected both the wires from the mid range and tweeters together then hook those up to the factory wires from the cd player/deck... is it ok if i just leave it like that because it seems to be working fine and do i need to use a crossover? thanks for the replies

dannyboi, that wasn't a good thing to do. You have effectively placed a 2 ohm load onto the deck with full range signal going to the tweeters. They will burn out promptly...and if they don't the deck will.

Tape up any wires that are not connected to anything. You don't want a wire to touch ground, whether it's OEM wire or new speaker wire. If you can't get this system up and running (WITH the crossover - yes, it's necessary), rather than twist wires together to see what happens.....your friend should think about taking this job to a pro for installation.

Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.
