Once i get my tweeter covers in the mail, im going to be rewiring my speakers to a 4 channel amp. Has anybody else here done this? I already have my Kenwood wired to 2 12" kicker comps in my trunk with a bettery powering an audiopipe mini amp in my trunk (yes my car runs off 2 batteries-stops my headlights from dimming). I have an 8" speaker in each door(idk the make/model as i got them from a friend that moved recently)and he also spliced in tweeters from the speakers. In the rear i have 2 sony explods installed (not sure of the size b/c the previous owner had them installed).
This will be my first attempt at wiring speakers and i have no clue really what im doing. Can anybody help? I have already bought 16 gauge speaker wire and another set of rca cables. All will be wired to an older 4 channel Sony amp until i can afford a newer one. -------------------- Auto 94 ST COUPE w/ 225k miles

Tweeter directly to the amp?? Byebye tweeter very soon I guess...
Just run 1 set of wires to each door and attach them to the filters that came with your tweeters. Your then attach your 'normal doorspeakers to that filter as well. Those filters will remove the high frequencies from your doorspeaker and pass themto the tweeters. They also prevent low frequencies (low and mid-bass) to go to your tweeters -------------------- JDM ST205
