Connecting Carvin Crossover wires:
COLOR of crossover "jumper" wires		connects to:	for frequencies of:
BLUE	BLUE	TWEETER (positive + terminal)*	- high
YELLOW	YELLOW	MIDRANGE (positive + terminal)*	- mid
RED	RED	WOOFER (positive + terminal)*	- low
WHITE	WHITE	RETURNS (negative - terminal)*	-
*special instructions for connecting Carvin Crossover wires:
The Red, Blue or Yellow wires connect to the positive (+) terminal on the speakers (sometimes labelled in red), and the White "return" wires connect to the negative (-) terminals (sometimes labelled in black or white) of the respective speakers. Remember: associate "RETURN wires" with "NEGATIVE terminals". Also, some units have two Red wires (and sometimes two Blue as well) and two White returns for those wires, usually in a "Y" configuration. If you only need one Red and/or Blue, and one White of these, just TAPE OFF or CUT & TAPE OFF the extra one, with electrical tape.
