andyr Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Perhaps you need to explain yourself more fully, before we can help you? You seem to have passive speakers - and you've shown their XO diagram. All in all a pretty simple 3-way parallel XO: 2nd order (nominally 12dB) LP for the woofer 1st order (6dB) HP & LP for the mid, and 1st order (6dB) HP for the tweeter. So why are you trying to use an active XO with them? (You asked about using lukas's P17 XO.) If "lukas's P17" is actually a power amp - then I suggest you would use either the 4 ohm tap or the 8 ohm tap ... and listen to see which one sounds better.

David Bil Posted January 20, 2018 Author Share Posted January 20, 2018 diagram I uploaded is for a 3 way parallel. I need to wire the same components in 3 way series with bass in opposite polarity? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WTF is a "lukas P17" ... is it a power amp or an XO (as you stated)? And you need to tell us why you think that a series passive XO arrangement will sound better than the parallel arrangement you currently have. (IME, series 3-way are complicated ... series 2-way are simple.) Andy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
