Impedance Disobedience

[Robert3564]

Hi:

I was thinking if using a 3106 crossover to an 8 ohm 2404H "baby butt" ultra HF. Will I have a problem with the 8 ohm impedance; it seems that the x-over is specified for 16 ohms. Should I consider modifications to x-over?

Thanks for tolerance with newbie questions!!

It might be closer to 10 ohms(driver AC impedance - not the DCR which will be closer to 75% of the drivers normal impedance).

Let us know what you measure.

DCR is 7.0 and 6.6

With lower impedance you will raise the crossover frequency up some.

What speaker system that you are using all this with?

le-85 with a 2231h for LF

See how it sounds.

Maybe it will mesh better than you think it can.
