You may have already blown your tweeters without the crossover installed. I guess you didn't follow the directions.

Definitely leave the radio off for starters. You need to send the right speakers the right signals otherwise you'll damage them severely. It won't hurt them with the HU off, but have a pro or educated friend check out your setup asap.

In general, crossovers separate and channel frequencies to their respective driver. High Freqs to tweeters and low freqs to woofer, thus the component setup.

A 2 way crossovers will have an input (+ and - terminals) to go from your amplifier and 2 sets of output, 1 set to the tweeters and 1 set to the woofer.

It show says on the on Xover itself or the manual of the components. If you're not sure, leave it up to the installers to prevent from damaging your drivers.
