Impedence question - Klipsh crossover (Off Topic)

Thanks,

It's the crossover piece that confuses me the most in terms of speaker construction. While I understand in general terms what the crossover is doing, I am far from being proficient in understanding it. I have, however read some articles where certain drivers have been substituted for the stock mid horn in the Klipsch designs - apparently successfully - using the stock networks. Your original comments aside and acknowledging that the networks were not designed for other drivers, is the impedence a critical factor? That is, will I fry the crossover with an 8 ohm driver or will it draw too much power away from the woofer and tweeter? Assuming similar efficiencies for the horn I am proposing in comparison to the stock horn (the tweeter and woofer are stock), should I stick with a 16 ohm driver?
