I have a 90 Honda accord and this is the setup i want to see when i lower my rear seat...It'll be a wall, not a box. It's 2 old skool JBL pa speakers as well as the horn tweeter things. The Amp will be a Kenwood KAC-9102D

-mono sub woofer amplifier
-500 watts RMS x 1 at 4 ohms (850 watts x 1 at 2 ohms)
-variable low-pass filter (50-200 Hz at 24 dB per octave)
-variable bass boost (0-18 dB at 40 Hz )
-subsonic filter (15/25 Hz, 18 dB/octave )

i have no issues in connecting, mounting nothing else but there is one thing that has me stumped. that rectangle in the middle is a horn tweeter. how do i hook that up or get it functioning in my setup? also is there any cons if i lower the ohm rating? as in will these speakers not make my ears bleed?

NOTE: This will not be my permanent setup. This will be simply installed to raise the value of my car and sell it quicker. Hence I'm from what is called a "HOOD" and these setup's seem to be very very popular, and most (not all) people here really don't care for audio quality, they just want loud =/

if the kenwood amp is set for lowpass then what's the purpose of connecting the horns with bass blockers?  Unless you are running it full range and everything is passively crossed over in the box

well i was thinking about connecting the bass blockers to it cuz all i want coming out of it is voice...absolutely no bass. as for the tweeters, i don't want to connect bass blockers to it. i just wanna get it functioning.
