Speaker help

You read up on what exactly- the stock system or the Soundstream ? Yes the crossover is probably built into the radio. So there is only high frequencies going to the stock tweeter ; you don't need another crossover. The reason that Soundstream comes with a crossover is so you can hook it up to a full-range input as in where there's a single set of wires to a single full-range speaker. You should never wire 2 sets of outputs together. If you don't believe me, call your dad and ask him. You might blow the audio in your head unit if you do.

Alright, that makes sense. I just put the right side in last night, and the left side in today. And played it on the way to the car wash, and Taco Bell. Do you think that it hurt the system any to play it that long with the Soundstream crossover in there?

As long as it's still putting audio out on those channels it's all right but the audio IC's might be getting pretty hot! Just don't press your luck. I used to install car audio and I've seen a lot of this. Rewire it before you hurt something.

Took out the crossover, and I think it might be a little louder. But it's still not really keeping up with the backseat stock speakers. It's almost like the front speakers don't have enough base or something.

I'm kinda confused about how you said you wired up everything. Basically, you replaced the factory woofer with the Soundstream one but kept the stock tweeter? To simplify everything, you should have 6 terminals on the crossover. There should be one pair of wires coming to the factory speakers. This pair goes to the "IN" on the crossover. Whatever pair of wires goes to the tweeter, connect them to the tweeter terminals. Same with the woofer terminals. It's been a long time, but do the factory tweeters just run parallel off of the woofer terminals?

He said there's 2 pair of factory wires- tweeter and mids. At least that's what I understood. I know on my Denali, the tweeters are on a separate channel, but I have the Bose Luxe system.

@iamdub @RedRocket There is 2 wires factory. Tweeter wire, and speaker wire. I put both of those in the in, and I also put the new Soundstream speaker wire, in the in. Because if I put it in the woofer part, it only plays low frequencys, like a subs woofer. And it's not a sub woofer, it's a speaker. Then I put the tweeter wire in the tweeter port. But I took out the crossover, and hooked it up to factory wires.
