how would i go about wiring in another woofer for each side of my components. i only have a 2 way crossover right now. would i have to buy a 3 way crossover or would it hurt anything if i just briged it off the woofer spot on the other crossover and had 2 woofers off the same crossover??
thanks for any imput
Capacitors and Inductors crossover frequency varies by impedance. In other words the same value capacitor (or coil) will have a different crossover frequency connected to a 4 ohm speaker as compared to a 8 ohm speaker. If you hook another woofer up to your crossover the impedance will change and so will the crossover frequency.
Translation. You can't, go get a new crossover
so i can just buy a 3 way crossover for my speakers instead then??? any ideas
three way crossover is not gonna help you'll have to go active crossover if you want to do that.
active means electronic. can be more accurate then a passive setup but i passive setup made for a componet set will also sound good. you can go wit a threeway setup but you need to make sure that the crossover you buy is going to work with the speakers you have. you need to check the crossover points on the speakers and see if they match up well with the crossovers themselves. most people that use passive setups setup the crossovers specifically for the speakers. or use the ones supplied by the manufacturer that are built for the speakers, just throwing in a passive setup from one manufactuere while using other mixed together speakers will work but it might not give you the best resusults possible.

I'm not sure a three way is the answer cuz it sounds like you're trying to go with two woofers and one tweeter. The threeway is setup for one woofer, one midrange, and one tweeter. Like Sndsgood pointed out the crossover needs to have specific crossover points to work properly with the components. Out of curiosity what are you looking for out of the second set of woofers and what size. I have 6 1/2" Daytons from partsexpress that I use for rear fill that I power off the headunit with CDT CL-61a components in the door that are amped. The Daytons aren't loud enough to pull the soundstage back, but they help blend the subs a little better to the frontstage.
It's called a mid-woofer ohvrolla. A component setup is just a midrange speaker and a highrange speaker, what he's trying to do is add another that will cover lower frequencies.
I don't know what he's trying to do. Have four 6 1/2's and two tweeters. Two 10's, two 6 1/2's, and two tweeters......... It's never been clarified, and yes I know the diff between mid-woofer and mid-range.
There isn't a difference between midwoofer
I meant when he refers to two woofers, he means a midrange and lowrange.
Being the mind reader I am of course
^^^ I actually wondered if wojo wanted to do that, but then he mentioned just using his 2 way so I didn't know if he wanted the same frequencies for woofers.
OK. so. i DO want to do a High,Mid,Low. setup. the 2 way was just temporary till i got new crossovers. but ill have new crossovers soon. so i will just wait. but just for reference i am using 2-5-1/4's in the door now. but the one is not hooked up yet. so all i need to do is to get a 3 way crossover right?
Yeah, I'd highly recommend making a switch to 6.5" for the lowrange tho
i cant find the same brand in a 6-1/2 or i would have. believe me. i wish i would have in the first place. but oh well you live and learn.
