[QUOTE="DejaWiz, post: 3349070, member: 569941"] That is correct. The crossover filters a certain range of frequencies to the mids and tweeters independently. For example: Crossovers send the mids 0-3000 Hz and the tweeters 3001+ Hz. Since the amplifier is getting a 4 ohm load from 0-3000Hz and a 4 ohm load from 3001+ Hz, the nominal load is still 4 Ohms for the entire frequency range that the amp is able to respond to. Both the mid and tweeter will get the full rms power from the amp channel they're connected to. If an amp is rated at 2x125w rms, then each mid and tweeter will be getting 125w rms each. [/QUOTE]
