Cabinet building questions

i plan on building my two front speakers with a snail shell on the bottom and a small sealed box for the midrange and tweeter

ive come up with some questions

1: what happens if i hook up an 8ohm tweeter and an 8ohm midrange with a 4ohm woofer using a three-way crossover good for 4 or 8ohm?

1a:will the tweeter and midrange recieve power at an 8ohm load while the woofer gets double the power from its 4ohm load?

1b:what load will the reciever see with 8,8,4 on a three way crossover?

*i have an 8ohm woofer already to match the 8ohm tweeter and midrange but the woofer requires double the power*

2: what is the easiest way to bi-amp from a single reciever output?

thanks

Your line of questioning leads me to believe you've never designed an audio loudspeaker before. If I'm wrong please let me know. If I'm right, before you spend any money I suggest the following:

The Weems book is a bit dated but the basics are described extremely well and still apply today.

Disclaimer: I'm not familiar with the MFR company and am not endorsing them in any sense of the word. They just happened to come up when I was searching for the book titles.
