77-AUDIO Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 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.

thehoe92 Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 it will change the ohm load which will change the crossover slope drastically(sp?) Quote Wouldnt be thehoe92 without teh purple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightshade Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 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.

Nightshade Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 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.

tacomabanga1986 Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 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 Quote here's a link to my system 99 toyota tacoma , 2 mtx 8000 1504's in a sealed downfire , 1000w memphis amp here's a link to my other system my 90 geo prizm test car heres a thread i got of new songs u can dl that are legal = Some Good Bangage/you Can Dl These Free And Legit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightshade Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 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 Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 (edited) 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 Edited August 28, 2009 by tacomabanga1986 Quote here's a link to my system 99 toyota tacoma , 2 mtx 8000 1504's in a sealed downfire , 1000w memphis amp here's a link to my other system my 90 geo prizm test car heres a thread i got of new songs u can dl that are legal = Some Good Bangage/you Can Dl These Free And Legit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
77-AUDIO Posted August 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 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.
