Have focal es 165k speakers which came with 2 crossovers and memphis 400.4. Want to run all four on separate channels. Question is how do I wire. If I use 2 crossovers for the tweeters channels 1 and 2 where do I put the other four wires +, - for channels 3 and 4?
Don't the crossovers have individual inputs for tweeters and mids so you can use them as you want?
You didn't provide any photos so I went by what I found on Crutchfield. The crossovers there have separate inputs for the lows and for the highs. Each crossover can take two channels in. two crossovers, 4 channels.
Each crossover has only one channel with tweeter and Woofer . Going to bridge amp, question is do I run front rca's from Hu to amp front only ? Set amp to 2 ch. Or do I need another set to rear on amp . In order to get stereo and the balance will work. One more on TA it gives me front and rear do I measure mid bass speakers for front and what do I put rears on 0 or what they assume I have rear speakers .
Also have focal coaxl for rear if I hook those up to Hu unit is that good idea or should I just abandon those and go component front only I do 2 10's RE and memphis viv 1500.1
Hi, i think thread's title is: passive crossovers.
Yours OEM crossovers must have one input and two outputs.
Then, if you have the amp in bridged mode, there aren't issue, beacause we have two channel and two crossovers, so you can wire one crossover to each channel.
The outputs, to the speakers obviously.

I got that would that way be able to run in network mode or would I have to put tweeters or mid bass from the Hu
What a mess...
Might I suggest that you start from the start.
What equipment do you have ?
A simple list please. One item per line.
What are you trying to do ?
In simple terms please.
And a suggestion.
Might it be wiser for you to take the car to an audio installer, and let them install the system properly, to save you the risk of damaging things.

Lets go this way since I need a new amp .
Pioneer 4400 nex HU
RE 10" subs (2) 600 watt
Memphis 1500.1 at 1ohm
Focal es 165 k for the fronts
Had memphis viv 400.4 piece of **** 2 channels don't work whatever part of Question 1 also have focal coaxl in rear don't know if I should put those back in which is part of Question 2
Question 1 going to run just focals 165's up front what brand and channels do you suggest.
Question 2 if I use focal coaxl ( can't remember exact model) IF I put those in rear same question.
Mainly leaning towards running just fronts. Had ARC 400.2 loved it then went to the memphis 400.4 and rears and nothing but headache bridging, bi amping, band pass, active etc trying to keep it simple as possible but need amp brand and channels and size first

I guess I could take it an installer that way if I have any audio questions I can just ask them and wouldn't have to be here.
You have an amp with active crossover built in. You have a component set with passive crossovers. You haven't exactly stated that you want to ditch one and use the other. We'd at least like to be on the same page.
Keeping the current crossovers would certainly be easier, and it will also sound better unless you can do at least as well on your own crossover.
I'm not familiar with the amp, but the description suggests you have 24dB filters and presumably levels which is not a significant amount of control to work with.
