6 channel amp

Wiring- ******** wiring harness,stock amplifier bypass
2front channels are connected too-front and reartweets, door mid/bass speakers2Rear channels are connected only too rear bass
2 Sub channels are not in use

Front Tweets-JL

Front mids/bass-Alpine SPS-600c(only mids/bass speakers)
http://www.crutchfield.com/p_500SPS6...0C.html?tp=106

CENTER SPEAKER IS DISABLED

Rear 2-Way-

as everyone is different and there will be differences, how come you didnt wire front to front and rear to rear. as far as frequency it depends on the music you listen to. that plays a big part to the tuning, when ever i do a system i find out what the owner listens to mostly and set it for that, if you are a heavy metal fan the bass and high settings will be a bit different than if you are a techno fan

Hopefully your thinking speaker wire, though 16-gauge is smaller than the speaker wire I recommend running.

4-gauge or 8-gauge if the amp wont accept a 4-gauge, anything smaller is going to be a problem

are you using a matched set in the doors tweeter/ mid with crossover, if you arent id split the front signal with a y plug keeping the front with the front your other option is get a cross over for the doors this way you only need 1 signal wire for each door
