Hey, just a quick query guys. I have been given a new Component set of speakers as a gift which is nice and all, except i don't quite know how to wire them up. I been reading the user manual and it tells you nothing how to wire em up, just where to position em for best sound.

I have a picture of my crossover box thing I done in paint so you can see. They have the exact markings etc. In the box there is 2 5" Woofers and 2 1" Tweeters with 2 Crossovers and wires. Can you just gimme a quick clue where the wires go and in what order etc. back to the headunit or whatever.

Thanks.

Just for the record, if you dunno which is the pos or neg on ur speakers:

Stick a battery accorss the wires
If the speaker moves outward then the pos is the wire connected to the pos side of the battery.
if the speaker moves inwards then the pos connection of the speaker is attached to the neg of the battery.
