OrionStang Posted August 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 Well, we do know one thing, each set will see between 175 and 250 watts. And yes, Brian, the mids are bandpassed. Quote SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 Over 2 xovers Hell. How about. It doesnt matter.

bkolfo4 Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 Does not matter if it is 2 crossovers. If they were in the same case and/or on the same board, they are still individual circuits. Inductors increase in resistance with frequency, caps decrease in resistance in frequency. If you draw out the complete schematic and analyzed the circuits, you would see that over the frequencies the midbass is playing, the mid and tweeter circuits are a very high resistance, so the fact that they are in parallel with the midbass does not affect the overall impedance in that frequency band (4 ohms in parallel with several hundred ohms is still pretty much 4 ohms. Add the crossover component resistance, an it actually looks like more than 4 ohms). Same thing in the mid band - midbass circuit and tweeter circuit have a very high resistance. And the same over the tweeter operating frequencies. Not trying to beat this to death - just trying to help everyone understand how a crossover works. Not only does it provide low pass and high pass filters, but when it is designed correctly it will maintain an even load to the amp. I get this question a lot - people think they need an 8 ohm mid and an 8 ohm tweeter to build a 4 ohm component set. . .

OrionStang Posted August 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 Different question now. I only going to be able to use one of the midrange for now. Will anything be damaged by running the crossover with only a tweeter hooked up to it? Quote SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
