[QUOTE="paikiah, post: 210641, member: 545724"] Ok, this is the situation: I previously had a xover with a single input and a mid and tweeter output. Both mid and tweeters are 4 ohms. I have always presumed 4 ohms is what the amp sees when I connect the speakers to the amp using the standard passive xovers, since it only has one input. Now I want to make my own xovers. THe board that I am about to get, they have a separate woofer and tweeter input/output. There is no common connection. If I made this xover and wired the inputs in parallel, would that mean that the amp would see 2 ohms? Also, when calculating the numbers for xovers, there is an ohm load. Would that be the ohm load of the driver itself (4ohms) or the load of what the amp is seeing? As you might be aware, the ohm load is crucial to the settings of the xover values. [/QUOTE]
