OrionStang Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 Can I hook up 2 tweeters to the same output on a passive crossover? Or will it fry? Quote SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiAnT4LYFE Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 I would love to know the answer for this as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skittlesRgood Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 i have no idea. i thought they were designed to work at a specific resistance. but i thought you were going active??

SGTSKIP Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 Yes you can, but make sure you get your impedance doesnt drop to low and overpower the tweets Steven Quote Does this smell funny to you? Its your sister Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkolfo4 Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 Depends on the crossover. Changing the resistance connected to the crossover output will change the crossover frequency. For a simple 6 dB cap, making the impedance lower just raises the crossover frequency (it is a linear relationship, so adding a second tweeter of the same type in parallel will double the crossover frequency). If it is a 12 dB/oct+ XO with cap(s) and coil, changing the resistance is not a good idea. The cap and coil values are selected based on the ohm load. Changing the ohm load could actually result in some frequencies looking like a short circuit to the amplifier.

audio1der Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 I'd vote 'Not a good idea'. Just grab some caps & coils and fab a passive set of crossovers yourself.

OrionStang Posted July 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 I am going active eventually, gotta pay a ticket first. So for now, i'll have two tweeters each on channels 1 and 2 of my 4-channel. I'll just wire each tweeter to its own x'over, then wire the crossovers in parallel.
