    Thanks for the helpful reply! I'm assuming the impedance would be 8 ohms since crossovers dont severely affect impedance, only frequency; however, I have never seen a bridged setup on a passive crossover and I want to make sure that I'm not overlooking something small.

    I posted this here hoping someone who actually knows their **** when it comes to this stuff, Seth, Flem, any others, might be able to offer up some advice.

    I originally wanted to run a 4 ohm mid and 8 ohm tweet, but found that it would not work out well for power balance.

    Back on topic, I'm doing it partly for the learning experience, partly to save money on the task at hand. The same reason you try things with your rig that you've never done before.

    I'm assuming the nominal impedance would be 8 ohms at the amp, just wanting a second opinion before I wire together a bunch of expensive car stereo components.
