Right now I am curently running my coaxils and tweeters of my deck. The coaxils are being run of the rear and the tweeters off the front. The only crossover I have is an inline passive crossover for my infinity tweeters, the coaxils are being ran in full range. Now I just picked up a two channel amp with a high pass crossover built in. Can I wire both the coaxils and the tweeters in parallel and use the tweeter crossovers and the amps crossover? Both speakers have roughly the same power handling so I don't think it'll be a problem of over powering the tweeters. Or should I just hook up the coaxils to the amp and continue running the tweeters off the deck?

 

if you do wire both up in parralel, when the high notes hit, the amp will see a 2 ohm load(assuming both are 4 ohm).

EDIT: sry should of made this more clear. when high freq. are presented to the speakers, the 2 tweets will play them. if both tweets are 4 ohm, then the amp will see a 2 ohm load when the tweets are both playing.

use BOTH the tweet Xover and the amp Xovers. but use the tweet crossover on on the seperat tweets. the coaxil tweets have a Xover(well kinda) already. if you dont use the tweet Xover, then you will fry the tweets.

so your saying it can be done...thats good enough for me

 

I haven't tried wiring my speakers up like that yet but I was thinking that if the amp only see's a 2 ohm load when the frequencies are above the tweeters crossover point won't the be a big differnce in volume between mid and highs?
