making 8ohm cabinet 4ohm

[jmpiwonka]

i have an 8ohm 410 cabinet that i would like to be 4ohm...the drivers are most likely worn (like 15 years old)...if i load it with 4 16ohm drivers then it's going to be 4 ohm (it has 32 ohm drivers now)...i'm guessing it's wired parallel.

will this impedance change have any affect on the crossover that's in the cabinet?

yes it will alter the crossover.

damn.
i was hoping to just drop four drivers in and start playing...oh well.

It depends. Cabinets like those from Eden don't have a true crossover, just a high pass filter, and are not affected by changing the impedance.

very true then it wouldnt be a crossover it would be exactly what you said a High Pass Filter.
