In+ is the terminal to wire the positive side of the speaker wire coming from your amp or head unit
In- is the terminal to wire the negative side of the same speaker wire.

WF+ is the terminal that you connect to the positive side of the woofer (big speaker)
WF- is the negative terminal that matches this.

TW- is the terminal that you connect to the tweeters negative connection
TW0dB is the terminal you connect to the tweeters positive connection, OR,
TW-3dB connects to the same place IF you want to attenuate (lower the volume of) the tweeter.

So basically...

IN+ and IN- take the feed from your stereo/amp
WF+ and WF- are the feeds from the crossover to the woofer speaker
TW-, TW0dB and TW-3dB are the feeds from the crossover to the tweeter

It should be fairly straight forward to be honest. Just remember that TW is the tweeter and WF is the woofer and all you then need to do is make sure you get positive and negative the right way around.

If, once fitted, you find the tweeters are too harsh or too loud, you can use the TW-3dB instead of TW0dB and it cuts the power to them a bit.

cool, it all sounds so simple when you know what all the abbrevations mean!
