WF = woofer/speaker connection
IN/AMP = connection for the amp
TW = connection for the tweeters
+/- 3dB, the sensitivity

What brand is the speaker? Don't you have the manual?

yeah see i know that much...but where is the negative terminals for the Woofer and the amp?! i see theres one for the tweeter...and one of my friends gave it to me to use...and he's gone on a vacation so he cant help lol damn it!

What brand is it? I've never seen any xover like that before.
It looks like they all share the same ground.

oh there Cadence crossovers and the model # is CWM-xr

looks like they share a ground, but the other ones dont look like pots to adjust the Db gain...this is an interesting one.........

see i thought that too...that it would have a shared negative but what i dont understand is....the negative is for the speaker...would that be fine for the amp and the woofer?! it doesnt make sense....

it is really hard for me to say cause the pics are too blurry, but any seperate 2 channels should NOT share the same GND unless bridged into one channel unless im missing somethign i am very confused

... most crossovers ive used came with component kits, so you would take a standard +- input and split it to +-h and +-L one set to woofer and one set to tweeter respectively
