Wiring RSD comps to get 2ohms?

[4Nine 10+ year member]

Just out of curiousity.

If I wired my mids to each other in parallel and my tweets to each other the

same way and then used one x-over for the mids and the other x-over

for the tweets I would get svc 4ohms speakers wired in parallel = 2ohms correct?

Or can this only be done with subs?

Will making that long of a run to wire them have a negative affect/effect?

an ohm is an ohm, it does not matter if its 2 4ohm tweeter, mids or subs.. 2 4 ohm loads wired in parallel would equal 2 ohm, same as 2 4 ohm loads wired in series equals 8 ohm..

as far as wire goes, I don't know as im not a professional but I see nothing wrong with it.

i dont think your crossover would be too happy about that

plus you would get no left right options

Ok so ditch using 2 x-overs and seperating them and instead use 1 x-over.

If an ohm is an ohm and the x-over doesnt split power but actually seperates

freq. theoretically you could use 2mids and 2 tweets on one x-over right?

Now you have the abillity to use the amps 2ohm power.

When the freq. is sent to 2 speakers lets say the tweets, the x-over wont

know whether its sending it to 1 speaker or multiple speakers correct?

the crossover points would change, they wouldnt work with your speakers then

crossover will melt... they are only built to handle XXamount of power at 4ohms.. and ummm probably not bult for the power/heat of a 2ohm load

That answers that thanks for the replys.

It dont matter now I got plenty of juice for the fokkers....

I just got a x200.4......//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/veryhappy.gif.fec4fed33b4a1279cf10bdd45a039dae.gif
