sayhuh? Posted November 20, 2012 Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 Never thought about this before, but was asked, is it ok to run muliplte speakers on a comp crossover? IE two 6.5s on one crossover? I know it would change the impedance, but what effect would it have on the crossover? Are the crossovers rated for a certain wattage, impedance, or anything else to prevent you from doing such a thing? Thanks! Blown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieHoward Posted November 20, 2012 Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 Yea the crossover points, from what I understand, are governed by impedance. So once you change the impedance, the whole thing gets out of whack. I was researching this a while back and kept coming up with "don't do that".

White Lightning Posted November 20, 2012 Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 You might change the ohm loads that the amps are trying to see ... might not be a good thing Kenwood / HELIX / Linear Power (For The Love Of Music) / Brutal Sounds / OverKill Electric Co Questions About Sound Quality ??

sayhuh? Posted November 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 You might change the ohm loads that the amps are trying to see ... might not be a good thing Umm, ohm loads the amps are trying to see? Amps don't care what the ohms are. How speakers are wired effect what the amp sees, unless that is what you are saying and I misunderstood you? Plus, 2 svc 4 ohms, wired in par. equals a two ohm load, which is acceptable...it's rather or not the corssover is capable of doing such.

Skullz Posted November 21, 2012 Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 I have run 4 ohm speakers meant for 2 ohm speakers through a passive network with no adverse effects, got a little less power to the speakers but they sounded as good as the ones i replaced. Crossover points will remain the same along with how the crossover works with all the components, the one thing that will change will be the final ohm load the amp sees EDIT: One thing to consider though is if the passive uses notch filters and replacing the speaker with those might not be desirable. 01 Ford focus ZX3 Pioneer AVH-X491BHS PPI PC 4800.2 Morel Maximo 6.5" x2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
