siucsaluki11 Posted April 4, 2009 Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 So im looking at building a component set for my front doors with items from parts-express. Im having a bit of an issue when it comes to matching the components based on impedance. If i do this i will either make my crossovers (i like tinkering with shit) or just buy some pre-built ones. So...the speaker wire runs from the amp to the crossover then signal runs from the crossover network to the drivers (im looking to keep it at a 2-way for now so to the woofer and tweeter). If the woofer and tweeter are both 4 ohm speakers, what will my final load be for that channel? Im a bit confused, would it stay at 4 or drop to 2. Im guessing it wont rise to 8, but ya, just a bit confused. Do i need to get 8 ohm drivers to give me 4 ohms? Any and all help appreciated. Thanks woman..cant live with em...cant shoot em...guess were all fucked You might be a Redneck if you use your leftover gutters for a speaker box port... YOU JUST LOST THE GAMER.I.P.

Guest Posted April 4, 2009 Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 i just read my towers, which use 2-way passive crossovers. the final load from the speaker terminals (where you hook up the amplifier to) is 4 ohms, and the tweeter and midbass each read 4 ohms also. so i guess if you want a 4 ohm final load, get 4 ohm midbass and tweeters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duvanator Posted April 4, 2009 Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 I have a set of phoenix gold rsd's. the tweeter is marked 4 ohms, and so is the woofer. and the set with the crossover (passive) is at a final 4 ohm impedance. head unit - Panasonic MXE CQ-C7403U amp - Cerwin-Vega EXL 1200D subs - (x2) Cerwin Vega V-MAX 15.4 box - 5.8 ^3 at 32hz spkrs- Phoenix Gold Rsd Comps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
