Ben5 Posted June 17, 2012 Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 I am thinking of doubling up my 6.5 components in my front doors, I am unsure on something though. When using 2 sets of components, do you have to use all four of the crossovers? Can you run 2 mids and 2 tweeters wired to just one of the crossovers? How does this effect the impedance? Thanks in advance for any help on this matter...

just1moreamp Posted June 17, 2012 Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 Yes you would need to use all 4 crossovers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassface Posted June 17, 2012 Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 Yes it will "work" but it wont sound as good as it would as if you had separate xovers per set of components. The xovers are designed by many parameters; one being impedance. When that changes, the components of the xover should also change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben5 Posted June 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 (edited) That is what I needed to know. Thanks!

john253a Posted June 17, 2012 Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 not to mention the ohm gain or drop, run all 4 or do an active set up, i vote for active Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
