A properly designed crossover will present the same impedence as the speakers connected to it. It filters the sound and "directs" the proper frequencies to the proper speaker. This is a gross over-simplification and not entirely accurate, but think of it this way: the amp only "sees" one speaker at a time and will see the impedence of that speaker.

Cheers.
