    crossover help

    Hello...

    I need some help understanding 3 way crossovers as it relates to ohm load.
    My crossover is listed at 8ohms

    1. Do they add load to the cabinet?

    2. the 8 ohms - is that referring to what the load for each part should be? (8 ohms high, 8 ohms mid, 8 ohms bass) or does it refer to what the output will be? or both?

    3. If I have 3 8 ohm speakers attached do I wind up with 2.67 ohms? I need >4ohms for my amp.

    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Cheers,
    Chris

      by Lex
      Jon/others, a guitar guy asked me a question, I guess because I seemed pretty knowledgable about loads and impedence. But I still want to make sure I am thinking right on this...
