The way they suggest hooking that up is running 1 line to the midrange filter and then splicing into that line and running a seperate one to the other crossover for the woofer/tweet outputs. Would this present a 2ohm load to an amplifier? or would this still be a 4ohm load? i am trying to pick out an amp and i can go with the lower model at a cheaper price if its a 2ohm load. http://dls.se/pdf/maniridium_eng.pdf if you go to page 3 they show you exactly what i am describing you.. Thx |

Passive crossovers like this setup give me a headache. I see exactly what u mean. You would think ur just running a jumper wire over to woofer & tweeter. That's what it looks like to me. My deudction: 4ohm speaker(s)+ this crossover setup= 4ohm load. |

Bronze Member Username: TragedySan Jose, CA Post Number: 67 Registered: Feb-05 | yeah the setup is 4ohms. I spoke with DLS tech support. You would think that normally hooking two speakers up on 1 channel would in effort drop to load just like wiring two speakers in parallel. But no biggy, ill just have to get a bigger amp to put out more power at 4ohm. |
