Help guys! anyone familiar with these passive crossovers? they have no labels whatsoever. I need to know which wires go to where. Thanks in advance guys!

Hi,
open the plastic box and let us see both sides of what's inside, probably you may receive any help identifying cables in-out.

Just connect the power from your amp to the single set of wires then connect your woofer to one of the other sets to see if it is allowing high or low frequencies, label it high or low and then connect your tweeters to the set that has the lows cut off, simple. Mornally with MB Quart they have different sized spade connectors that are sized to only fit on 1 speaker input specifically for each wire. they tend to use 4 different sizes of prongs, tabs, or connector pieces . The woffers will have a large and a medium sized and the tweeters will have a medium and a smaller one the medium sized may not be the exact same size if I recall correctly. 1 is just a bit larger. Those crossovers are made for MB Quart speakers and the crossover point on that tweeter could range from as low as 2.8KHz to 4.5KHz depending on the model of speaker they came with, Plus they may be meant for a 6 Ohm Tweeter as well, connecting any other speaker to these crossovers is not recommended unless you know the model number and can crossference it to check the original drivers specs. Those crossovers came with many different speaker sets and they can vary depending on what year and model of speakers they were made for.
Connecting an Infinity Kappa tweeter or similar which had some models crossed at 8KHz would be an instant coil melt if they were full power and getting sound down to 3KHz, I know because I watched 1 of mine turn from silver to glowing then black in 3 seconds. I had the MBQuart Competition Crossovers with 3 points and high and low attenuation, even at the highest cross point and lowest output they burnt.
