I got these 2 solid oak pioneer boxes from a friend with good crossovers still. I'm hooking them into one of my extra home theatre systems. It's hard to find 8 ohm speakers so I bought 2 4 ohm 12's for these boxes. I don't want to run a series to get 8 ohms cause i'd have 2 12's on 1 channel. Can you do something like add a resister to the positive line or something to get an 8 ohm resistance. I will give you an example of what I got. Here it is for 1 speaker box. 12 inch at 4 ohms, midrange at 8 ohms, tweeter at 8 ohms. I need to somehow get the resistance on the 12 to be 8 somehow unless it isnt a big deal. I hooked them up for a few minutes but quit and disconnected them because I didnt want to risk blowing my amp.

I did post this under the amp section of the forums and just now found the speaker one and thought it would fit better here.
