Kind of a strange situation, but here goes.
I have a SS combo amp rated for 60w @ 3 ohms, with a 3 ohm speaker (thanks Vox, you weirdos). I want to perform a speaker swap but want to maintain as close to full power output as I can. The speaker I want to use, a Cannabis Rex, only comes in 8 and 16 ohms.
Any reason I wouldn't want to use a non-inductive 8 ohm 100w resistor in parallel with the 8 ohm C-Rex to get a 4-ohm load? It will rate the power down a bit of course, but with the C-Rex being a 50-watt speaker I suspect it will work out just fine.
Thoughts?
