Just got a new tweeter and crossover. Need help wiring


Recommended Posts

+ in goes to the pin on your jack input or the + on your big speaker, often but not always a red wire. - in goes to the sleeve or - on the big speaker. There should be a terminal marked + on your tweeter (sometimes marked with a red dot) and that goes to T+.

For reasons which are a bit complex the tweeter can be out of phase with the woofer at crossover and can sound better with the terminals reversed. You either get a small peak of a small dip at the crossover point. I always listen to both configurations before deciding. So long as your crossover is filtering out the bass neither way will damage the amp or tweeter. In any case when you test always start at low volume until you know you haven't made a mistake.

Good luck
