16ohm parallelled crossover

ocool_15 · 7th October 2005, 06:11 PM

I would like to use 2 16ohm speakers parralled for midranges but am not sure if that will throw off the crossover point. I have some premade passive crossovers I would like to use. I know using 1 16ohm driver will change the frequency but If 2 are parralleled will they both be at that different(higher/double) frequency or at the normal 8ohm frequency?
I dont have the drivers yet to test but if this will work I will order them. Will go active later but passive I find much easier for testing/setting up.

Two 16 ohm drivers paralleled will give the same crossover point as one 8 ohm

Thank you. That makes it much easier for me then.
