3-way speaker impedance confusion ?
I have some drivers gathering dust so i want to make a 3 way speaker, the tweeter is 6 ohm, mid range is 4 ohm and woofer is 8 ohms. I used a calculator to generate a crossover (i will do the math on my own once i have a grasp), but the calculator doesn't show the total ohms? my amp works at either 4 or 8 ohms. How can i work out the total ohms? also what would happen if i bridge the amp with this 3-way speaker?, Here is the generated crossover
4th Order Normal Polarity
2000 Hertz / 250 Hertz
6 Ohm Tweeter / 4 Ohm Mid / 8 Ohm Woofer
2.84 db Bandpass Gain, Spread = 8 : 3 octaves

L7 = 9.55 mH
L8 = 4.81 mH
Some reading links would be much appreciated.

Most manufactured speakers contain drivers
that all have the same nominal impedance.
When their impedances are unequal, calculations ---
and crossover design --- become monumentally difficult.
Full laboratory measurement is the best method,
as it will give an impedance curve rather than just a fixed-frequency value.
A really (really really) well-equipped repair shop may be able to do that for you.
Otherwise, use an amplifier that is well known for handling low-impedance
loads with ease so you don't have to be concerned about it.

either 4 or 8 ohms is not acceptable ... which one?
you may desin filters with different input output impedances.

I can't answer this but I'd suggest you re-post in “Consumer Electronics”, I guess someone there can help.
