[QUOTE="Caleb Dueck, post: 214190, member: 60"] Need a lot more information. What is the model of each driver? Who designed the crossover? A crossover is designed for the specific drivers and specific box; a generic crossover is nothing but a wild guess if it will perform as desired. Who designed the speaker? I see you mentioned 'fix' - if so, that implies the speaker system isn't stock. If everything is properly designed (unknown) - and if the program rating of the driver is 300@8 - then you would send 300@8 to the speaker. The crossover would filter out and pad down the power going to the HF driver so that it and the low driver would hit their limits together. If it's a cheap speaker that was attempted to be used to reproduce more SPL than it was capable of - just swapping the drivers with 'better' drivers is a waste of money. At best - replace with stock drivers and sell the speakers and put the money toward something that will provide the performance you need. [/QUOTE]
