I was wondering when installing the crossover to the outside source unit or amplifer if i should tap it into the speaker wire coming from the amp to tha sub

i connected the tweeters to the crossover, the mid ranges to the crossover, and the last set of wires...i am not sure what to do with or how to connect it to the amp...

i figured just to splice it in between the sub and the amp, but i think i tmay affect the output altogether if i do that...i see no other way in installing the crossover to the units

thanks in advance if any responds

Components do not connect to the sub amplifier. They connect to their own amplifier or to the head unit powered outputs (left and right...) Crossovers have an input that is connected to the amp and then two (or more) outputs that connect to the proper speakers.

Check your owner's manual for installation instructions, or take it to an installer.

sooo there is no other way to connect these components/tweeters with the crossover without anohter amp...

you posted that i can connect it to the head unit...?

could i do that by running wires to connect to the crossover input to connect to the outputs of the radio deck where the old front components use to connect to or what?

or is there some other way
