[QUOTE="Shelbyturbo1989, post: 1936880, member: 559370"] I am planning on building a set of stereo speakers. I have been trying to learn how to design crossovers for them but am having a very difficult time understanding how to calculate the final impedance of the assembled speaker. I would like to end up with an 8 ohm speaker, but the only setup I can come up with ends up as a 4 ohm design. Currently, I am planning on having each cabinet contain: Two 8 ohm tweeters Four 8 or 4 ohm mids Two 8 ohm woofers I looked at the designs on parts express and tried to make sense of how the impedance the builders claim adds up, but to no avail. A general layout of how this would be possible would be greatly appreciated. Any input on the order/type of network to use would also be a great guide my understanding. Thanks. Vic [/QUOTE]
