I have a tweeter and a woofer and im looking for a crossover. The tweeter measures 6.5 ohms and the woofer measurse 4 ohms.  I would like to get a 4 ohm crossover and hook them up to keep them at 4 ohms. Will this still work? I also would love to be able to measure true impeadance. Is there any simple way of doing this? I realize that the tweeter measures 6.5 ohms but the impedance could still be 4 ohms but it just seems odd because its alot off.

the measure rating that they give you is the lowest it will ever go, but what you want is an impedance( resistance at work) meter (very expensive). while at school we used one to check the impedance on a 4 ohm rockford punch 12. between 20 hz and 120 hz we got readings as high as 92 ohms and as low as 5.3 ohms.  the rating they give is always the lowest that the speaker can go.so don't worry about trying to get lower on a tweeeter . or midrage. sure  if you lower the resistance than you'l get more power to them , but you;ll lose sound quality too. keep them in as they are. the crossover will be okay. and sound ok. . good luck
