Default Need help wiring speakers

I picked up a set of 6x9 component polks with the little box that separates the signal between the woofer and tweeter. For the life of me I can't get those 4 factory wires on the right terminals pn the little box. Any suggestions?

You may want to PM Nick (NachoSS).

He's pretty much the stereo guru.

So basically what I'm trying to figure out is which wires need to go into the polk crossovers from the factory amp.

Ok, I've been playing with it and here's what I've got:

There are 4 wires coming out of the amp going to the speaker assembly on each side. 2 power the bass and 2 run mids and highs. I can hook up either set of wires and it runs fine but if I put both sets on there it gets extremely distorted and pops and cracks. Any idea how I can make these two signals mix properly?

when i replaced my stock speakers, all i did was pick one set of the wires, and place those as the in for the component box ... but it was really lacking bass and volume ... so i did the headunit and they woke right back up ...

which reminds me, i could probably take the fuse for the stock bose amp out ...
