I have done this many times, mostly back in the '60s and '70s. Most
speakers you can buy will be 8 ohm speakers, giving you a 4 ohn load when
connected in parallel. Most radios have an 8 ohm output and 4 ohms will
still work fine. If it still worries you, put an 8 ohm, 10 watt resistor in
series with each speaker to match the impedance. >>
Hi,
The BL setup as originally supplied from the factory may be different
(meaning 8 ohms), I dont know. However....most car stereos are setup for 4
ohm speakers...which most car speakers are. My original post still applies,
but the resistor is a good idea.
