ive decided to build my own speakers...i have a question...in each of my speakers i am going to have 3 8 ohm speakers(woofer, mid, and a tweeter)...the woofer is about 100rms @ 8ohms...the mid is 60rms@8ohms...and the tweeter is 60rms@8ohms...i want to put a 3 way crossover on it to give the speaker its proper frequencys...now if i want a 4-8 ohm load how would i do this...is it even possible??? if any of u are confused i understand...this is probly a simple question that im making a big deal out of

Just curious. If you don't know have a clue about how to do something, why would you decide to go ahead and do it anyway? And, why would you ask a bunch of people on an audio forum for help when there are plenty of websites that will tell you what you need to know?

Put DIY loudspeakers into a search engine and you will find plenty of combinations to pick from. Making a speaker, particularly a three way system, sound good is more than just telling you to plug wire "B" into speaker "C" and that will do it. I would strongly suggest you read up a bit on speaker building before you attempt your project. The information on the internet will help and you can even buy some pre-assembled kits to get good sound without paying the price of manufactured speakers.
