before i install my components...

i have a couple of questions. first off i just got my mb quart psd 216's today and have been looking at them planning my approach.

the crossover is the source of most of my questions. i have 4 inputs and 4 outputs on it. i have a 100RMSx2 at 4 ohm amp that i want to use. can i hook both of the + inputs of the crossover to the + one on the amp? i am pretty sure i can, but know this will create a 2 ohm load, since both the speakers are 4 ohm. will i be ok like this? i realize that i will have more power also running a 2 ohm load and will set my gains a little lower to compensate for this. i am just paranoid after blowing one amp of doing it to another...

i can't WAIT to hear these things when i'm done...

it wont create a 2 ohm load, only a 4 ohm load....
thats the beauty of crossovers...
i could go into a long in depth explanation of it, but i really dont quite understand it to its full extent myself...
if youd like i can copy and paste why, but i'll spare you the details...

i'm curious why, so if you don't mins i'd like to know sometime. i know how they work with coupling capacitances and all, and am sorta interested. but right now i'm gonna enjoy installing these babies and join the tweeter in door club [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/IMG]
