I have 5 old speakers and one stereo amp. The amp have only two exits (left & right). The spekers are distribute as 2 woofers 1 mid-range and two tweeters. How i mathch all this bunch? They are into wood baffles.Are you saying you have a pile of loose speakers that you’re trying to hook up? That aren’t mounted into an enclosure of some kind?

You are ok. Or say 2 are low frecuency 1 is mid range frecuency and 2 are high frecuency.I see what @Wayne A. Pflughaupt is trying to extrapolate but I think you @rhenxoff are confusing some nomenclatures/terminology.
I feel like your 2 woofers refer to the bigger (of the lot) speakers (loudpeakers, or probably are all same size like satellites or maybe mini bookshelves) that you use as front speakers, your 1 mid-range is the center speaker and your 2 tweeters are the surround speakers.
If I am wrong then it's another story and it is more complicated that just hook all up to some amp.
Where are your questions?You basically just repeated your previous post - not too helpful. If you want help, please answer my questions.

Can i use two 3 way crossover one for each channel of the stereo amp?Alright and to make it simple, what's your current 5.1 system?
And to answer your fist question: if you have a 5.1 system (meaning 5 already made cabinet with their own drivers and crossover in them) you can not hook it up to a stereo amplifier; you need a 5(.1) amplifier and some pre (or an all in one solution) to feed the digital signal which will be then feed to the amp.
Ok i´ll do. My old equipment is a Sony LBT-W900AVWhat's your actual 5.1 system? Does it have a name or brand on it or the speakers?
I think you are confused or just don't know much about this stuff and you're confusing me now asking me that question... so they are not completed speakers. Can you uploasd a photo of the stuff you have?
Oh I see; it's a old Dolby Surround system and yes, you can use the speakers you have with that kit with another amplifier but you can't plug them all in a stereo amplifier (I mean you could but you will always have a stereo sound and the central speaker will be unused): you need a 5(.1) amplifier (and you would need a amped subwoofer also for the cinema experience, aka to properly play the 5.1 audio tracks of modern films) and a pre (or an all in one solution like an audio video receiver, AVR).Ok i´ll do.

I supouse i must connect one low frecuency speaker to the one channel of the amp, then a mid-range to the same amp output and finally one high frecuency to the same channel, then i must do the same with the other channel of the amp. I don´t know if explaine well. The exit of the amp wll go to the input of a crossover, the crossover have tree outputs for low, mid and high speakers. The crossover Is a frecuency divisor filter.Are you asking about using 5.1 channels and connecting each channel so you have 2 speakers with one channel for woofer, one channel for midrange, and one channel for tweeter?
If so the answer is maybe, but it would be more trouble than it is worth most likely.
Thanks zermak, i see a frecuency filter that divide the input from the amp into three outputs one carry low frecuency, other is in middle and the last is high frecuency. Can i connect each of these outputs with his respective speakers.Oh I see; it's a old Dolby Surround system and yes, you can use the speakers you have with that kit with another amplifier but you can't plug them all in a stereo amplifier (I mean you could but you will always have a stereo sound and the central speaker will be unused): you need a 5(.1) amplifier (and you would need a amped subwoofer also for the cinema experience, aka to properly play the 5.1 audio tracks of modern films) and a pre (or an all in one solution like an audio video receiver, AVR).

Finally you catch up. My new amp have not crossover built in so i need conect the speakers thru an external crossover. My doubt is if i have to place two crossover one for each output of a stereo amp.This is confusing.
Are you gonna dismantle the system speakers and will use their drivers to make a new loudspeaker? And will the drivers (woofer, midrange and tweeter) be hooked to a passive 3-way crossover?
If you are using a passive crossover you just have to plug the input of one crossover to the output channel of the stereo (L o R) amplifier.
Just loaded your new message.
So your new stereo amp has an active 3 way crossover build in? Or is that a network board you have found?
