technical question regarding speakers & xovers

hi guys, can i use 8 ohm xovers on 6 ohm speakers? vice versa, tqs.

not recommended as the X-over components' values are selected based on the woofer's own impedance load.

X-overs are only effective for the woofers/tweeters they are designed for.

If u swap the woofers/tweeters, then the rollover freqs and highpass/lowpass attenuations will lari.

If u got access to PSPICE or some other circuit emulation software, u can test this out for yourself before attempting a real-world SNAFU.

i dont have such eq. tqs 4 the advise. anyways, when there are 2 sets speaker terminals on amp (A & B), & with speakers that are bi-wireable, is it possible to use both output like A for high freq & B for LOw freq?

what r u trying to achieve here ?

Good luck.

bi amping

sounds more like biwiring to me.

biamping means using two amps - preamp must have two sets of outputs connected to two power amps which are then connected to the speakers.

with an amp that has two sets of speaker outputs (speaker a and speaker b) it is perfectly ok to use two pairs of cables to connect them to the bass and tweeter terminals of the biwireable speakers. just switch the speaker a and b buttons on.

remember to remove the jumpers from the speaker terminals.
