Quick crossover question-please help me read this schematic

The Paulinator · 26th March 2006, 02:38 AM

I am no good at reading a crossover schematic. Can someone tell me if the woofer crossover parts can all be wired directly to the output from the amp, or do they need to be wired in some sort of succession so the next woofer can benefit from the coil on the previous woofer. I hope I am making sense.

no, the 3 sets of speakers are in parrallel. The lines are the wire. I think I reconize that as the centerchannel project.

So you're saying that yes, they can all be connected individually to the incoming power?

You have 3 sets of woofers. Each vertical set is wired in series and then all 3 sets are wired in parallel.

This must be for a line array, a bunch of smaller bass/mid drivers, but with only one tweeter.

Each serial set of woofers will present a 16 ohm load to the amplifier, assuming 8 ohm drivers. Then, the 3 parallel sets will present a 5+ ohm load (16/3=5.333). Will your amp handle a 5 ohm load OK?

Paul, you can put one side of each inductor straight into the amp.
