Installing the crossover board 

 
 
There are three sets of cables: 
 

 

Input terminals: 

located near the larger inductor on the end of the board. 

 

 

Tweeter output:

 easily identified by the white cable (HI+ HI -) 

 

 

Woofer output:

 black cable next to the tweeter outputs (LOW+ LOW-)

 

 
 

The crossover is fixed in place with 4 short button head self tapping screws. It’s best to screw 
them in place with a screwdriver by hand. Orient so the input loom is near the terminal cutout. 
 

Note:

 Although two sets of woofer outputs are shown (LOW1 & LOW2), it does not matter 

which woofer is connected to which of these two outputs. They are both the same.  
 

How to identify positive and negative cables 

 
All negative cables have a stripe. The white tweeter cable has a black stripe. The black woofer 
and input cables have a white stripe.   
 
To ensure positive and negative speaker outputs are not reversed, the spade connectors have 
different sizes to prevent mistakes. However, extra care is required with the input cable, since 
the terminals for this are both of the same size.  
 

 
Sequence tip:

 Normally this step would follow finishing the speaker. 

Otherwise sanding will get MDF dust over the crossover.  

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Note:

 The cable with the white strip 

goes to the negative terminal
