you guys know speakers?

[uh-oh]

really this is a post venting my ignorance. but maybe one of you know

so i've been embracing my white trashness of late. my bronco has the shittiest speakers. it had two old shitty sony like 5 inch car speakers in the back. not 6x9's but like door speakers, in the back. like a circle. well they're trash and give off 0 bass. all highs, and they are blown as well.

so i was like fuck it and tore them out, spliced the wires and hooked up my old house speakers.

well my old house speakers suck too, they're like 5's as well, with a tweeter or whatever too. but they gave off a little bass being in a box and able to handle more than the horrific shitty speakers that were in my bronco.

the problem is tho its still barely any bass. like they'll blow up when i crank it they can't handle the bass and the highs and mids overpower everything and its too quiet if i balance it correct.

well i got these studio monitors tho. bx8's by m-audio. i don't like them for the purpose i bought them. monitoring mixes. they are way to bassy and just aren't giving me a clean flat response i need for mixing. so i decided i will open them up and have a looksee at the wiring inside.

the sub and the tweeter both connect to a circuit board which connects to an XLR output.

now in normal hifi house speakers, the tweeter is sort of sautered to the sub, and some other weird electrical piece i'm LEARNING is a CROSSOVER. which is basically what tells the speaker where to send frequencies. highs to the tweeter. lows to the sub. this way you don't blow the tweeter sending bass to it. or the sub by sending high pitched shit to it.

well with these the circuitry is the crossover thing i guess, because both plug into the circuit board.

i don't want to blow them on the offchance they suck in my car too, because i like them for listening, just not mixing.

so anyways i was wondering if i could just splice the tweeter wire with the sub wire and connect that up with the speaker wire in my truck

but i'm reading thats probably a bad idea, but again everything im googling is for car stereo systems. like legit shit. subs, amps, etc.

i just want to hook up speakers for listening enjoyment, not to impress the neighborhood.

so basically i'm gonna just hook up the subs running a speaker wire to those.

my main question is do any of you have any idea how i can hook the tweeters up without blowing them? i know people with systems can dead all bass to their regular car speakers, but i think that requires the crossover amps and shit have.

i just got a shitty sony xplod cd player lol.

but yea i dunno tomorrow on my lunch break im gonna open up my shitty house speakers and see if i can't steal the crossover from those? i dunno.

I'LL FIGURE IT OUT DOE
