[QUOTE="Sarthos, post: 5956641, member: 610335"] That makes sense. Of course that also requires twice the power to put out the same sound. Dang. Or, now that I think about it, if I were using a 2 channel amp which does 2x100 @ 4 ohms to the speakers or 2x200 @ 2 ohms couldn't I run the speakers together in parallel (or is it a series, I can't remember) so they would present a 2 ohm load on the channel and do the same with the tweeters so my amp would put out 200 watts to the pair of speakers and 200 to the pair of tweeters off the same amp? Sounds like a lot of extra power and wear on the amp though [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
