Thank you- an answer and an explaination is what I wanted. I could not because I did not know if it was even possible- which is why I asked the question. Thank you for the information. I now know it is not possible AND why.

Thanks to everyone for the replies. I now have 2 questiions- 1- What is an impedance matcher and how would I use/hook it up? 2- Could a low pass filter be easily made for a 4 ohm sub attatched in series to my 4 ohm speakers to give me an 8 ohm load?

I did some research and answered my first question. According to termpro.com/articles/spkrz.html it seems that the speaker would get about twice the power of the 2 ohm resistor. amplifier output=rated power X (rated impedance [ohms]/total impedance[ohms]) 146 = 110 X (8/6) The...

Thanks! Thats pretty much what I was thinking would happen. What I have is a reciever rated for a 6-8 ohm load and a pair of 4 ohm speakers. I want a temporary fix (don't want to risk blowing my amp)untill I can get a separate power amp to run them. If I used a 2 ohm resistor, would the...

I was wondering if it is possible to increase the impedance of a speaker by adding a resistor in line (series) to one of the terminals and what the effects of doing so might be? Specifically- adding a 2 or 4 ohm resistor to a 4 ohm speaker for a 6 or 8 ohm load. Could it work or would it...

I also listened to those Athena's @ Best Buy and I too was impressed. The one negative thing I did notice about them was that, while they sounded great with the small Athena sub, they didn't blend well with the 15" KLH sub that was also hooked to the amp- even after adjusting X-overs and sub...
