[QUOTE="Terryl, post: 956863, member: 369937"] Some newer stereo systems can run from 4 to 8 ohm speakers without problems, I would check your spec's for your stereo amp first, if it say's 8 ohms then you would have to put some 1 ohm resistors on the plus and minus sides of the input, as some stereo outputs are balanced driven outputs. And be sure to use the correct wattage resistors, you don't want to pop them. If you have trouble finding the correct resistors you can always add more speaker cord, or go to thinner wire gauge, this may compensate for the lower resistance. But in most cases the 2 ohms difference may not matter on some stereo amps as long as the speakers are not under rated as far as how much wattage they can handle. [/QUOTE]
