Ian Savage Posted May 6, 2011 Posted May 6, 2011 Right, potentially daft question - if one is engineering a four ohm two-way speaker enclosure, the main driver needs to be four ohms regardless of the tweeter/crossover employed, right? Just bought a couple of cheap empty monitor cabs and trying to make my own four-ohm monitors as they're like rocking horse sh!t without spending loads, just narrowing my options as to what drivers (12") I can use for them. Cheers in advance if anyone can refresh my memory! Quote

voxpop Posted May 6, 2011 Posted May 6, 2011 The only thing to watch out for is if you use a 8 or 4 ohm tweeter the crossover components will need to change. Do a google search on crossover design and put in the cross over frequency and impedancies. Quote
