My friend had the Alpine SPR-17LS components installed in his Jeep, they didnt use the crossovers and told him that you only needed them if you used an amp. He also had an alpine deck installed.

He wanted me to check out the system because on of the tweeters was crackling like it was blown, then I look in the back and there are the crossovers sitting in the box. These should have been utilized right?

you have to use the crossovers supplied with the components. they split the signals between the woofers and tweeters. tweeters should never receive low signals or they will crackle and blow. woofers shouldn't receive the higher frequencies either. the crossovers should absoultely be used!!

installer from a local custom audio/video shop, not best buy or circuit city, did it after hours.I knew he screwed up, I think best buy or cc would have done a better job haha
