Too many notes!!!
All;
First, I use a pair of Realistic Nova-15s as recording monitors. The foam around the cones disappeared after 30 years or, so, and I replaced them with Goldwood 8s. Parts Express touts them as full range speakers and I've put 15 Hz., from an SG, through them and they reproduced that well. These Woofs get down there. Now more.
I have a pair of 8 Ohm, 2 way X-overs to put in. I noticed, though, that the Woof impedance is 8 Ohms and the Tweet impedance is 6 Ohms with a 4.7 Ohm, 50 v. cap., wired in, in series with it. I'm guessing it's a high pass filter. I'll have to say, though, they sound a bit sharp compared too the 'BIG' ones I listen to otherwise.
I've crunched numbers to figure out resistance needed to drop voltage and found Watts needed to keep resistors from getting hot. I know how to do that.
So, would I be able to series wire in, a 2 Ohm resistor at 125 Watts, if the speakers are originally rated at 65 Watts? The 8" speakers can handle more than 65 Watts, though. I'm concerned about the health of the tweets.
Any help, please. How do I put the 8 Ohm X-over in with a 8 and a 6 ohm pair of speakers? Impedance's don't match.
