adding another mid bass driver to existing crossover

[Chud17]

I have a cross- over design and want to add another mid bass driver (so there will be 2 each channel, same type speaker) How to wire to keep it 4 Ohms or do i need to change the whole cross-over? any help or suggestions welcome

You might put them in series. Do you want to change the response, increase the maximum output or something else?

Thanks for responding... I just have an extra set of those drivers and thought i would use them in a new build. Yeah I thought I would just wire in series but wasnt sure. It will from 4 ohm to 8ohm. can I still use same crossover parts?

In series will keep them as loud as before, that's a factor you have to consider one way or the other.

Ideally the crossover should be changed, perhaps double the inductor value, halve the capacitor.. but try it first, you might get lucky.
