Default Help me wire up Infinity 60.5cs crossovers

Help! I just purchase a set of Infinity Kappa 60.5cs speakers and I'm not 100% sure how to wire these up. Any help would be appreaciated. So this is what I have, a stock deck and these speakers. I know, I know, it's gonna sound like crap and I should upgrade to a aftermarket HU, but help me out first.

So, let's start here.
I've got the stock deck wires, 4 pairs total right? 2 pairs for the woofer and 2 pairs for the tweets.
I've got 3 pairs of connetions on the crossovers. According to the instructions, 1 pair "To amplifier speaker outputs", 1 pair "To woofer", final pair "To tweeter". This is my confusion, how do I hook up the deck wires to the crossover?
And finally, I know the woofer and tweeter wires from the crossover goes to the respective speaker.

I figured how to do it if I had an aftermarker HU, amp, and these speakers, but I don't have an aftermarket HU. Or do I just screw the crossover and plug the speakers up with the stock wires? Or do i just take the woofer (or tweeter) wires, plug into the amplifier speaker outputs?

Actually forget my questions, someone just tell me how to do it. Thanks.

Put the "woofer" stock wires into the "input" of the crossover. Run wires from tweeter out to tweeters, and woofer out to woofer. Crossover just separates the frequencies. Make sure you use the "woofer" as the input and not the tweeter wires, as the tweeter wires most likely already have bass blockers installed.

It's a 2002 model. So it does come stock with tweeters. S2000 of course.

see my edited post....also, where are you mounting the x-overs? There is a little black box on the inside of the door panel that is great, but will most likely require some soldering to get the woofer input wires out there.

Thanks, that's the information I was looking for. Much appreciated.

On your second comment about mounting the crossovers, why would I need to solder? Can't I just screw the wires on? I'm probably missing something.

Did anyone figure out which is + and which is - on each side? I don't have the original head unit anymore... On the passenger side I have light green and dark green, on the drivers side I have dark green and red. I just went ahead and look at where the wires were located on the old woofer. The light green was on the right side, which is usually -, right? So, I just went with light green being -. Same for the left side... the red was -... Is that right, or not?

Is the search function up yet? I do not feel like opening my doors today....I think dark green on the drivers is + , and the one with the red (or black) stripe on the passenger side is +.

I just purchased mine not too long ago, but have yet to install because I need some specific tools in order to flush mount the tweeters.

Now correct me if I'm wrong, if I recall correctly, there are 3 sets of (+-,+-,+-) on the crossover

the oem wires from inside the door (behind the woofer) goes into the
crossover (+-), run wires from the crossover to the tweeter(+-) and run wires to the 6.5 midwoofer (+-).

Check out the manual, it tells you which slot is which.

That's not my question... I'm trying to figure out which OEM wires are which. The wires are color coded and it's hard to tell which wire is + and which is -. I'm thinking about just running all new wires and be done with it. The OEM wires are so freakin small...
