Would this work with a 130A low, 2482 mid and 2402 high. The 2482 is 16 ohm, and the others are 8 ohm. The actual measured resistance is written on the paper. They are supposed to crossover at 500 Hz and 4500 Hz.

It will work, but it won't sound right. Why would you want to use a crossover designed for a completely different speaker on your precious JBL drivers? Unlike Infinity Kappa crossovers, JBL crossovers are really simple, and they use L Pads not variable resistors which shift the crossover point as they are adjusted. That's just one reason not to do it, there are lots of others that I don't have the time or inclination to get into. Let's just say it's a really bad idea.

Thanks, that's what I wanted to know. I got them cheap, and I was just going to use the binding posts. I thought they looked like they were made well, so I thought maybe they would work for me.

I'm going to tri-amp everything for now, but I know I will get tired of having three amps running.
