[QUOTE="its_bacon12, post: 3280933, member: 558729"] ok. well when you cross the signal passively into 2 ways, you dont lose that much power unless the crossover is designed to dissipate some power. for example, 120 watt per channel at 100 hz will also be 120 watts at 10,000 hz and therefore each driver (tweeter and woofer) is each getting 120w rms. they overlap in the crossed section and thats where the impedance is halved because two voice coils of the same impedance are playing the same signal, but its usually 6-24db per octave so it wont affect the amplifier much playing 6 to whatever db down at a lower impedance anyways i dont know if this makes that much sense but it does to me lol.. my brains kinda fried from economics homework so i dont know how well that came out [/QUOTE]
