    I’m in the process of installing Boston Acoustic SC60’s in all 4 doors. The thing is idk where to get my input power for the crossovers. Can I just tap into the stock wires that go to the woofer? Yet, when I tested those wires for which is + and -, there was no current, so idk which is which. I’d rather not run all new wires, since I’m not running an aftermarket amp, and already laid down tons of RAAMAT. Thank You.
    Also, is there any strain with running 4 crossovers on the HU? (It's an aftermarket DVD player)

    Not sure about the wiring but everyone is going to tell you to amp those components. They need more power to perform at their highest level and to get the best sound out of them.

    I installed a set of components on a friends truck before he got an amp and I just hooked the crossover to the existing speaker wire in each front door. When you finally get an amp then each crossover will go to a channel on the amp. Stock wiring is left alone because its not even gonna be used once an amp is being used. The deck will send the sound through a RCA cable.

    Do you have the jbl system on your truck?

    Yes you can split it to power a 2nd amp.
