I'm going to make my girlfriend some stereo speakers for christmas. I want to use my old Infinity Kappa 5x7's and some 8" woofers I have.
1. Should I just use the 5x7's alone?
2. Should I use the 5x7's (powered) with the 8" woofers as passive radiators.
3. Wire them all up for 3.8 ohms (to a home stereo receiver stable to 4 ohms).
The Kappas are 4 ohm and the 8" woofers are 16 ohm. I have crossovers I can use if I were to power each separately.
