Gabriel,

I reread your first question, and you're correct. I misread it the first time. The woofer will play at 97 (with two drivers) and the mid will play at 99, but the highs will remain at 95.

Running two woofers in parallel on the bottom end is risky. If you wire them in parallel, impedance will drop to 1 ohm, at which most amps will not run stable. Your only other option is to wire them in series to 4 ohms. The net result will be no gain in sensitivity.

I would recommend attenuating the midrange 3-4 decibles with an L-pad, and otherwise keeping everything else the same.

By the way, what woofer, midrange and tweeter are you using, and what diameters are they?

Adam
