I'm trying to find out how to wire this so I don't blow my 3.5" dash speakers. what i have is an alpine pdx4.100 amp with 4 Focal 165 v1's for the doors and 2 Kicker ks35's for the dash. the focal's are 70 watts rms while the ks35's are only 20 watts rms. anyone know how to make this sound clean without shredding my ks35's? would i just wire them to the focal tweets xover?

Do you have the passive XO's for the Focals?

If you do, use 2 of the 4 chan. to make that copmponanat set fire. THEN use the othe 2 to control the 3.5's crossing them over electronically with the amp!

Heres another thought. Bail on the 3.5's

You never mentioned what type of vehicle, BUT you did say "dash speakers" Put the tweets in the dash!
