Oh that sounds different to all other crossovers i've seen! Usually they have ame sonnectors as an amp which you need fork connectors for!

Heres some pictures



And I think this how it connects




Looking at this, how can I attach the crossover to door ? Sticky
Pads?

So you don't need any bullet connectors then, the tweeters have wires attached with the bullet connectors already on!

Yea i'd use some decent 3M tape like this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3M-x-20MM-...item2a4e35dbea

Yes but I need it for the opposite side that connects to the mid range??

The tweeter comes with a cable but the mids don't!?

[amsbmw]

Correct! Tweeter cables are soldered on, mids have screws that spade connectors fit in to.

If they gave me all the wiring it wouldnt be a problem. But they havnt and expect you to make them yourself,

That is very odd that they don't give you the wires for the mids! The MBQ speakers did have them.

I can understand them not giving other ones though as the speakers are designed to be connected to an amp, which you always need to buy a separate amp wiring kit for.

Out of interest, how easy is it to remove the door cards and tricky bits of trim? I wanted to upgrade our F21 speakers - i'm ok with the wiring but worried about getting things part and not back together right!

It pretty easy stuff mate, but buy some of these in case any break: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BMW-OEM-IN...item35e7b9435f

Ok I need help once again. Ive looked around for bullet connectors to fit the speakers side of the cross over but the hole seems to small for any bullet connector ?

Just looked at the photo again and they're not bullet connectors! They're butt connectors, so you put bare cable into it and crimp it.

Personally i'd cut them off and use butt connectors like the tweeter so they can be easily unplugged if ever needed.

Not sure that is any help here at all but maybe for future reference here are the instructions that come with the PnP Rainbow kit, the major differences that the interface connectors come with the kit so there is minimal wiring to take care of.

[amsbmw]

Thanks for that.

Exactly what I was thinking of doing to make it easier in the future

I still can't believe they don't supply cables for the mids though. Does the instructions say what should be included in the box?

[pdk42]

My memory is getting hazy, but I seem to recall that the crossover, mid and tweeter all connect together using the kit as supplied. I had to crimp the bullet and socket connectors and of course do some cutting and soldering on the connection from the amp to the crossover. Finding a place for the crossover and securing it was the biggest faff.

[amsbmw]

The only booklet I got was for the crossover itself and doesn't exactly say whats supposed to be included.

I did however call monster audio about the grill thats supposed to come with the subwoofer (never got them) and he said phone back tomorrow. I will be phoning tomorrow and asking what is actually supposed to come with the box.

You don't get a grill (except the one that's integrated into the sub. You need to re-use the grill that's already there. It's just a simple plastic cover that sits over the stock sub.

Im talking about the one that should be integrated in the sub, like the one that comes with the tweeters
