Speaker power distribution

[darw82]

Dear All,
I'm building small cabinet speaker with the following speaker:
Eminence PSD:2002 16-ohm tweeter
Eminence Alpha 6A 4-ohm mid range

So, at full applied power the tweeter will consume about 20W, while the mid woofer will consume 80W. Is this an ideal setup?

Oor should I increase the tweeter power consumption by lowering the tweeter impendance?

Thank you.

It's irrelevant, what matters is how much sound comes out of each driver for the applied voltage. You might need to pad down either the tweeter or the mid.

Ahh, yes, you are right. Speakers are tend to different from manufacturer to manufacturer. So, it is not ideal by taking power consumption as reference.

Since this is my first time, do you have any advice what brand of speaker should I use in this small speaker (without woofer)?
The PA is 100W RMS.

Well those Eminence drivers are for a public address system, not home music really.
