Did you change out the factory deck? If not, wire the tweets to the existing wiring. If you already have tweets they have been crossedover already. However, if you replaced the deck, you may need to run new wire to the doors and use the crossover that came with your component set. Hope this helps
from the speaker outputs of the head unit / amplifier. Connect from the positive and the negative outputs to the respective positive and negative input of your X-over box. Now connect from the X-over woofer/midbass output to the bass driver. Now do the same for the tweeter from the X-over from the tweeter output to the tweeter. Make sure that all the positives and negatives are correctly connected.
If you are going to use your head unit to power the speakers then you should know that:
White & white with black stripe is the Front Left Speaker output
Grey & Grey with black stripe is the Fron Right Speaker output.
Green is rear left
Purple is rear right.
I think you get that the black stripe speaker cables are the negatives.
good luck
With component speakers it is imperative that both the speakers be hooked up to the supplied crossover. Wiring them in series or parallel will not yeild satisfactory results since the woofer requires lower freequency then the tweeter, which plays the high notes.
Now some cheaper speakers do not use crossovers and sound rather poor. What make and model of speaker are installing? Does you truck already have component speakers in it?
The MB Quart's are component speakers and the PPI's are coaxials. In an "apples to oranges" comparison, the MB Quarts win. Most component systems in the same price range as a coaxial will have better sound imaging simply because you can mount the tweeters up high for better high frequency dispersion. Some also allow you to make adjustments to the crossover, which is built-in and fixed on the coaxial.
But component systems are more difficult to install. If your vehicle doesn't already have the wiring for separate tweeters, you have to install it. Likewise, the mounting of separate tweeters adds to the installation complexity.
I work at a Chrysler Jeep dealer and sell parts, and I'm sorry to tell you but this is a little problem we have run into many times with these vehicles. The factory speakers are **** and of course we have no wiring diagrams showing how to install aftermarket speakers without replacing the head unit with an aftermarket one. I just had to do this with my Mitsubishi Galant when I bought some Focal component speakers for my doors. I went with the Alpine radio and it seems very nice and I think it will do great for your speakers also. Hope this helped.
if it was me i,d replace the original head unit with an alpine they came standard in most early bmw,s and maybe and an ipod to the aux input of the stereo.
the speakers are 5,25 inches and there behind the flimsy front kickpanels you can either just swap them for something more powerful i,l recomend genesis or rainbow for a big difference in sound especially if there a mid and tweeter combination that your buying , if not just a good coaxial set will do but stay away from the kenwoods they lack in midbass !
