Hi all,
I'm very new to speaker projects, so apologies in advance if I ask something very basic/incorrect
I'm working on two spherical speaker arrays using car speakers, loosely based on the project shown here: https://ccrma.stanford.edu/~njb/research/slorkSpeaker/
I'm using a stereo receiver, and on each channel I have (1) 6.5 in 4-ohm driver (polk db651s) and (2) 4 inch 2-ohm drivers (infinity reference 4032cf). In order to get to the 8-ohm impedence for the receiver, I've currently got the drivers wired in series (as in attached Speakers Only.png)
I'd like to add a few stock highpass crossovers to tune the frequencies being passed to the 6.5 inch driver and the set of 4 inch drivers, but I'm not quite sure how to wire them while still keeping the 8-ohm total impedence. My best guess right now is wiring them as in the attached picture, Speakers & Crossovers.png
The questions I have are:
1. Will the crossovers work the way they are supposed to when wired like this?
2. Will the crossovers mess up the 8 ohm impedence I'm shooting for? I think I remember reading that crossovers don't add much impedence?...in which case I think its relatively the same when wired this way in series-parallel
*Also, I know I'm sacrificing with some elements of this design (wiring different speakers in series, using stock crossovers, etc) but I think I'm going to stick with these decisions unless I'm at risk of damaging components (please let me know if so!).
Will appreciate any advice, and sorry for the long post/multiple questions.
