How should I wire my speakers in this configuration: I am running an 8" fullrange on open baffle and using a 15" with a large inductor crossing it at 100~200hz and also a helper tweeter with a 2uf caps.
Do I use the parallel/serial connection method or just daisy chain (serial) connection the speakers from 15" to 8" to tweeter. All drivers are 8 ohm. Thanks.
The drivers should be wired in parallel. Attached is a schematic from a simple crossover similar to what you are describing (except the mid frequency is not running full range).
Notice too, that in this crossover, sometimes the red input ends up on positive, sometimes on negative. This will vary, depending on the drivers and configuration.
Wow, this is way cool. Thank you very much John. I will make crossover following closely with this one. Will this yield an 8ohm load then even though the low frequency and midrange are wired in parallel. (All my drivers are 9ohm).
The load is spread even across the bandwidth. The only time you would see a dip below 8ohms is if you were running two drivers parallel within the same x-over point/frequency range, or if you had an overlap within that specific frequency.Originally Posted by tnc

Alright. I am ready with my project. Thank you much everyone.
Best Regards,
