Default Remote power?

To get power from the fuse box, is it called a piggy back fuse? Want to get the right thing tomorrow morning. And on the crossover there are 3 settings, -3, 0, and +3db. That will change where the crossover works. But if you put it at -3db will that also increase the midbass or just decrease the highs? Sorry for the noob questions but I need help learning here. TIA.

Piggyback is a good description, I've seen it called an "Add-a-circuit". Should be an easy part to find at an auto parts store.

The db settings one the crossover are usually to adjust the response of the tweeter. Set it to 0 to start and adjust the treble on your head unit. If you find it's too bright even with adjustments then slide the switch to -3db. If it's not bright enough, go to +3db.
