I am new in game and need to know if I can run 6 speakers ( 2 woofers 2 mids and 2 tweeters) from a 400w 8 ohm 3way crossover. Will it make my speakers run in 4 ohm? Will I increase my output on each unit (speaker box)? Or can the crossover only manage 3 units.( woofer mid and tweeter)

If I want 6 speakers in a cabinet do I then need to have two 3 way crossovers in each unit? If I do run two crossovers will 8ohm input split to 4ohm to each crossover? I currently have a 800w 8ohm per channel power amp.

Hi,
You can't match a random speaker with a random crossover. Each speaker (with his specific impedance) needs his specific crossover, or you'll have different frequency cut ranges.
