[QUOTE="Doxquzme, post: 8864847, member: 689267"] Okay, lets back it up a bit. "Full-range" leads are a speaker wire that carries the entire "full range" signal from the head unit. I am assuming they are both full range from the head unit prior to any cap/crossover and in this case, either one or the other can be sent to the coaxial and that little cap in the diagram I posted, will prevent the lows from going to the tweeter. The rest will be provided by the midbass driver (5.25, 6.5 or 6x9) as they are usually designed to roll of naturally at the crossover point where the tweeter picks up. If the lead from the HU is full range, then you only need to use one of those leads on a pair of coaxials. This applies to comps too as that crossover supplied spits the frequency after the full range signal is provided via either wire. One is used, the other is just ignored. The primary reason that you have two wires is that they are split to different locations. I may be wrong, but I would think the primary speaker lead should suffice in either scenario. As for comps or coaxial, they are seen by the amp as one speaker as the frequencies are split by the crossover, prior to getting to either driver in that 2-way speaker. That rear 6x9 Jbl is a 2-way that instead of the tweeter being mounted coaxially, it is mounted in the grill or on a brace across the top of the speaker frame, same thing, that design, a coaxial design or a separate midbass/tweeter component sets, all are simply 2-way speakers. With that in mind, and to keep the set-up simple, run a pair of 3 ohm 5.25" or slim/shallow mount 6.5" coaxials in the front doors.
