I have some questions I hope someone can answer for a TMWW type of speaker. All drivers are 8 ohms.
I know that when you create a three way crossover for
a Tweeter, Midrange, and a Woofer, if it is a parallel
crossover and all drivers are 8 ohms, that this does
not create a problem as each driver is producing a
different spectrum of the audio range so it still
presents as approximately 8 ohms.
In the Tweeter, Midrange, Woofer, Woofer speakers that I have seen, this is mostly true except for the two
8 ohm woofers in parallel. Just two 8 ohm woofers
wired in parallel become 4 ohms. How does it work in
this type of speaker? Does the complete speaker present as
about 6 ohms overall? Or is it still 8 ohms except for
the lower range?
Also, how would this work if you wanted to bi-wire?
Would you have an 8 ohm top end and a 4 ohm bottom
end?
I hope the questions make sense and I hope someone can
help me understand how these TMWW type of speaker
crossovers work.
If someone needs an example of what I am talking about, look at the Veritas kit at PE: http://www.partsexpress.com/project...as&FTR=veritas&CFID=22892657&CFTOKEN=13628007
