Default Need Help Fellas

Alright, I placed a new Kenwood head unit in my 2007 Xfire Roadstar, along with a set of kicker tweeters and a set of Kappa Infinity woofers for the doors. Everything is wired to the factory amp. But after playing for ten minutes all sound will shut off, but the head unit will still be on showing the radio playing or the track of the CD playing. Then ten minutes later the sound will turn itself back on. this will go on and on and on.

I called Crutchfield and they said that the factory amp was being overlaoded and was shutting off to protect itself. They suggested that I run the kicker tweeters thru the radio directly (which puts out 50 watts per channel). They wanted me to run the door subs thru the amp. I am open to this suggestion. But therein lies my problem.

I am trying to locate the wires to the tweeters that I have currently going to the factory sub. But I first need to know are there separate wires for the tweeters and the door subs going into the amp. I thought the tweeters and door subs for each door were tied into one set of wires going into the amp. If that were the case I would not be able to have the door sub wires going into the amp and the tweeter wires going into the head unit. I am hoping you guys will tell me that there for each door there is one set of wires for the tweeter and one set of wires for the sub, with both sets going into the amp (that is a total of four sets for the two doors).

If the above is the case, what are the color of the wires going into the amp for the tweeter sets and for the door woofer sets.

If the above is not the case, how do you guys suggest i go about hooking the tweeters to the head unit and the door subs to the amp (if the tweeters and subs operate off of the same wires)

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
