I'm sure this has been broached before, but I'd like to know if anyone has
any experience. I'm replacing my surround home system, and was curious about
putting the mid-drivers and tweeters into my older car. I've worked out a
way to parralell them with what I have in there currently to get the
speaker "circuit" as close to 4 ohms as possible (3 and a bit). My question
is, will this cause problems with my head unit over-drawing. They are
tweeters and 4 inchers, which have a max draw of roughly 30 watts. The
tweeters each have thier own crossover, a fixed coil. Any help and opinions
would be appreciated.
Thanks!

We need more info.

1) What impedance are the drivers themselves?
2) Your tweeters have what now? A fixed coil? There's got to be a
capacitor in there somewhere...
