michigancapri92 Posted April 30, 2012 Author Report Posted April 30, 2012 but will the change in the ohm load mess up the crossover and if not will it change ohm load amp sees ?

michigancapri92 Posted April 30, 2012 Author Report Posted April 30, 2012 or should i just wire up the tweeters straight to amp with active x-over ? Quote Teamcapri.comThe TeamCapri 1992 Mercury Capri XR22012 FORD EDGE SQ BUILDOld build logMy FeedBack1992 Mercury capri XR2 Hyper LED
bego Posted April 30, 2012 Report Posted April 30, 2012 (edited) Every crossover is designed for one impedance, adding more drivers you change the impedance and with that you change crossover frequency... So answer is: no, you cannot put two tweeters on one crossover... or should i just wire up the tweeters straight to amp with active x-over ? Active x over is way to go if you want your tweets alive Edited April 30, 2012 by bego Quote Find us on Facebook http://www.facebook.com/pages/Team-GeMisT/297595513623635

Active x over is way to go if you want your tweets alive I don't see why you can't if the crossover's rated ohm load is the same as the final load of two tweeters... correct me if I'm wrong.

michigancapri92 Posted April 30, 2012 Author Report Posted April 30, 2012 ok thank you ! and i can just wire them in line after the cross over to get amp to 2ohms to compensate for the extra tweeters ! thanks for the help !

bego Posted April 30, 2012 Report Posted April 30, 2012 (edited) No buddy, those are passive crossovers. Active crossover is one that you have on amplifier and head unit. Edited April 30, 2012 by bego Quote Find us on Facebook http://www.facebook.com/pages/Team-GeMisT/297595513623635
