Need wiring help

[plumsl2]

I just got a set of polk audio EXE crossovers today. I wasn't planning on putting crossovers in the satty, buuuut since I got em for free, I can't resist. First of all, does anyone know if polk audio stuff is any good? I've never worked with polk audio, so I really don't have any idea. Secondly.........how the hell do you wire these things up? All I know is that they are passive. There are connections for input positive and negative, woofer positive and negative and tweeter positive and negative. Any help/info you can give me is a great help. Thanks!

Not sure if this helps but it sounds similar to mine. First off, decide where you want the tweeter to be, and where you want the crossovers to be. Make sure you have enough wire to run from each place. For those to work you probably need an amp. From the amp, run the wires from the front drivers side on the amp to the obvious front drivers side crossover. Those wires go into the input terminals on the crossover. Then depending on how you want to do it, you run the wires for the speakers to the crossover. The tweeters should be straight forward, just run the wires coming off of them to the corresponding terminals on the crossover. The only real trick is the woofer wires. My suggestion would be to look where your HU is connected to the factory wiring harness, and find the correct wires. If I remember correctly, the wires for the drivers side will be whlite/positive, white-black/negative. On the passenger side, it was gray/positive, gray-black/negative. You will probably need to crimp a wire to these, to attach to the crossover. In this case, the white to the positive on the crossover, the white-black to the negative. I found it helped to go ahead and hook up the amp and make sure the drivers side worked right before I started on the passenger side. Then youll have to do the same thing on the other side. Run the wires from the amp(front right), the tweeter, and then the woofer(gray, gray-black), all to the crossover. I was able to put the crossovers under the dash, behind the plastic panels, and it made wiring much easier. If you dont have an amp, just replace the wires coming from the head unit, with the ones I said to use for the amp. IE..where you disconnected them to use on the woofer input, just use those as the +/- input. LOL. If you get confused just let me know. Hope it helps, and good luck!!!!
