Alrighty, I'm not sure exactly what you're getting at. Is this the passive crossovers that came with the set of components or are you talking about putting an active crossover in line.?

If you are talking about the crossovers that came with the components, simply take the speaker wires from the head unit or amp into the "inputs" on the crossover, then speaker wire from the mid and tweet outputs on the passive to the appropriate speakers. The crossover should be labeled accrodingly (with + and - inputs and + and - outputs labeled mid and tweet. After doing this and installing it, you can safely switch the + and - wires to find the correct phasing....

Now if you're talking about using an active crossover, you'd run RCA's from your head unit to the crossover, then from the crossover to the appropriate amps. If your using an active crossover to drive components, you'd need an amp for the mids and an amp for the tweets.

My guess is that you're talking about the passive crossovers that came with the set of speakers.
