How does installing multiple speakers effect crossover points and is the effect different between passive and electronic? example- If I have a component set with a 6 1/2" woofer and 1" tweeter with a passive crossover, with a xover point of say 3500hz, and I decide to install another 6 1/2" woofer in parallel with the other, how would this effect the over impedence and xover frequency? Now if I have an electronic xover, and I install two 6 1/2" midbass speakers in parallel, would this effect the crossover points set? I hope I was able to explain this clearly. Thank you to anyone with helpful info.

on a passive crossover the impedance will effect the xover frequency dramatically

now if oyu do an active crossover and the amp can do a lower load there will be no problem

at 2ohms, the crossover frequency will be double the Hertz as it would at 4ohm.
