    hi i am designing a small PA system using active speakers. i am planning to use 2 4 ohm exciters per speaker with one exciter connected to each channel of a class d amp. as i am splitting the input between 2 separate amps anyone know what effect this will have on the input input impedance of the amps and how to compensate for any mismatch?

    The two amplifiers will presumably have their inputs in parallel, so the input impedance as seen by the source driving the amps will be halved. So, if each Class D amplifier has an input impedance of 10k, say, the source will be driving 5k.
    In practice, that will be fine, as any decent source will drive 5k perfectly well.
