so you just bought it all without really having a clue what you were buyin??

anyway heres how it goes...

you connect the sub to the amp and the amp to the head unit, im sure you'll b able to bridge your amp for more power as most can be these days.

6x9's straight off the rear outputs on the head unit

as for the front you connect the crossover to the head unit (the two front channels) and the components and tweeters to them

if you can get more info on the amp that would help and if you could get another amp for the crossovers that would also help.

did you get a power cable kit?
you need a power supply from the battery for your amp.

ya wire components to mid and it will say head unit or amp as well thats obviously where ya head unit goes on tweeters to the high or tweeter port. do you mean your unsure how to wire the head unit up.

right this is what i was finking of doing,let me no if this all sounds ok or whether itll fuck me motor/ice up etc:

On the amp bridge the sub and run 6x9s aswell
Run the crossovers off headunit as u say and then the components nd tweeter from that.Do i run speaker cable from say the front left and front right of headunit for the crossover,then the components/tweeters off that so it works as a sort of amp?
How can i find out about which wires on plug r front right front left etc etc.
Cheers wiv ur help i aint gota clue wen it cums 2 this sorta stuff.Wana get it all rigged up got me test on the 14th. :o
