2 SETS OF COMPONENTS WIRING

[77-AUDIO]

I have 2 sets of components, i had 4 passive crossovers but one died. would there be a problem if I run one pair off of one crossover and the other pair of the other crossover.

crossover 1 would have 2 6.5" mids and 2 1" tweets

crossover 2 will be the same.

it will change the ohm load which will change the crossover slope drastically(sp?)

There might be an issue if you run more power through the crossover than what it's rated to handle. What is the rms on the comp set? I wouldn't go over that if your going to run a whole set off of just one crossover. They should be fine, but just remember to adjust your amps to a lower gain level since you'll be running the amp at a lower impedence with a whole set on a single crossover. You may sacrafice some sound quality too since you'd be at a lower impedence.

You could try one other thing though. Try wiring the mids and tweets in series before you wire them into the crossover so it doesn't run at a lower impedence. That should help you out a bit for the sound quality part of it, but I still wouldn't run more than what a single side of the comp set is capable of doing.

I did plan on wiring them in series then to the crossover.

I don't see anything wrong with it then. Each crossover should be fine then since it won't be running at a lower load then it normally would. You may actually have to turn the amp up in this case since you will be running at a higher impedence then what you would with a side off the crossover instead of the whole set.

i am not running an amp. and everyone thinks that only one side is getting a crossover.

4 mids, 4 tweets, 2 crossovers.

each side will get 2 mids, 2 tweets, and 1 crossover.

but from what i am getting it will work.

if it was me ied get a 4ch n run it active threw a 3way xover, front channel to tweets n rear channel to mids, im thinkin bout this but ied halfto rewire my coax so it will play like a comp set, i dnt think coax's can work bandpassed n still hear the tweet

[Nightshade]

I never assumed that you were running a single crossover at all. It's just that if you have two mids in series on the crossover and two tweets in series on the same one the crossover will parallel the speakers internally and will result in a higher impedence than what it would if it were just a single of each tweet and mid is all I was trying to tell you.

[tacomabanga1986]

cant u replace some of the xovers parts? or maby order some?

is he tryin to bridge one crossover n run 2 mids n 2 tweets to it? if so i dnt kno how that will pan out lol

if its that bad ied go to radioshack n see what they have in the bin that might fix ur xover befor ied try this shit, if all else fails run active?

edit: that might not work right cause the xovers are setup to run at certian ohm loads to keep the input ohm @4ohm or so, so i unno it might mess somethin up

I dont have a 4 channel ap at this time or I would go active. As for the led it's an add on never existed in the crossover just wanna ad some flare to it.

I might have to break down ad get a 4 channel a.s.a.F.p.
