I have a question that may sound silly to most of you but I am not very expieranced on crossovers and such. My question is can I use a 16 ohm driver such as JBL 2450j and also a JBL 2426h for a speaker system? I always thought that all the inpeadance of speakers and drivers had to match. I plan on having Wayne build the crossovers for these if this is something that is fine to do.
Thanks Ken

The driver's impedance is critical since it is a part if the circuit. Generally speaking, you don't use a passive crossover designed for an 8 ohm driver with a 16 ohm driver. It will usually move the crossover point, and since the crossover circuit will also likely be underdamped, there will be a peak in the crossover region.Here are some links that may be helpful for you:
