Just wire the mid woofers and tweeters as normal and bridge the main 4 channels of the amp to the passive crossovers and set your crossover as stated above.

The dash is easiest place to mount the tweeters and they work very well there. I like what Big-A did with gutting the stock tweets and mounting the new tweeters inside the frame. No need to have them baffled since they are self contained. Set all gains at about 10:00 o-clock on the 900/5 to start with.
Thanks 2fast.

I just received everything including the enclosure from ZEnclosures which is nice as you said previously.
My other question for you is: should I have to use the rear left and right channels to hook up to the passive crossover?

Thanks!
