- I have two mono, two-way passive crossovers (xo pt. is 3kHz, -12dB/
- octave). The box says that the crossovers are "8 ohms". I assume
- that this means that to an amplifier, they appear as 8 ohm loads.
- But how is the power actually distributed? Specifically, if I have
- 30 watts into 4 ohms being delivered to this crossover which calls
- itself 8 ohms, which then sends the signal to a 4 ohm woofer and a
- 4 ohm tweeter, what power is delivered to the woofer and to the
- tweeter?

- Thanks,
