In theory that's possible. However, a lot of the power from your amp must be absorbed by the resistors in order to create the extra resistance. That means they will heat up really quickly and at loud volumes, blow up in a matter of minutes. Let's not forget we're dealing with a lot of power here. Also, the ohm rating on speakers refers to impedance, which, unlike resistance, is variable. So even if you were to wire in high power resistors, it won't react the same as a matched pair of speakers. Apparently there are transformers that can do this, which are called "impedance converters" but unless your speakers are invaluable to you, I would swap them for a pair of 4 or 16 ohm examples
perfect!
Super cool! I think you did a really nice job. Nice playing too. ;)
You can wire those 8 ohm speakers in parallel (4 ohms) and add 8 ohms resistance( in series to each speaker leg) to get your 8 ohms load,
Thanks. I knew there had to be a way.

You didn't tell us the size of the pieces?
Love it!
Thanks man!
All those screws, using a wired drill, and none of them stripped? I'm freaking impressed.
Mantap
Do you know the wattage of those speakers? I have the same 2x10s but not sure of the wattage
Sorry, no idea. Wattage isn't marked on the speakers anywhere.
