I've got an old 3-way speaker that I replaced the woofer on. I used a car audio speaker which gave a 93 SPL rating. (this was for 2 coils parallel) But when hooked up using only one coil I yeild a net efficiency of something like 88 db 1w/1m. So my mid and high freq. drivers are more effiecient. I allready have a reasonable fullrange speaker set that I like the sound of so I was considering removing the mid/high freq drivers from the 3-way. Can I just disconnect these drivers or will that cause my x-over to take all the heat that should be dissapated with powering these drivers. What is a good way to effectively remove those drivers from the system or make them quieter? Thanks in advance, Max
