[audio] dumb ohm-age question (or square peg & round hole)

[relbrb at comcast.net (Mike)]

Since speaker are AC you can not really truely set them up in paralel you
would need a cross over to add the ohms instead of two voice coils.

An ohmmeter will tell you the resistance. Its unlikely that its 2 ohm.
If they are you would need to set them up in series, that is + to - to +
to -. That will increase the resistance to 4 ohms.

   okay, so now i've two sets of bose speakers laying around for a
custom built box. i've also a 250w, 4-ohm amp waiting for a home. i have

been, thus far, unable to determine the ohms of the speakers, though i
have had one place said that most likely are 2-ohm, but might be 4-ohm
(lotta help, that one). they are out of a porsche (no bose amp present
for those) and an audi (which the bose amp was there, but no markings on

it). anyone know what ohms these are or any way that i can find out?
also, and here's the dumb question, is there any way to make 2-ohm
speakers work with a 4-ohm amp? i'd assume it'd just blow the speakers
or there'd be one universal amp. and help would be appreciated. thanx.
