So I found a mouse nest in the back of my Camaro a few weeks ago, it was under the drivers-side plastic panel tight up against the factory subwoofer. I cussed a little, cleaned it all out and scrubbed the carpeting. Last week I noticed the sub wasn't doing anything anymore. I knew this was more than a coincidence, so I took apart the sub box and found the problem. The little bastards chewed up the coil wire on the speaker. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/banghead.gif) I know bose uses different ohms rating on their speakers, so I can't replace it with just any speaker. I need another Bose speaker. Anybody have one laying around they'd be willing to part with?

I don't quite remember my high school electronics course (it has been over 22 years (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) ), but i think a 4 ohm resistor placed in parallel (4 ohm speaker) will give you give you two ohms final resistance. Just have to get one to handle the wattage.

You're correct, but 1/2 of the amplifiers output will be wasted as heat. You're usually better off to just leave it 4 ohms and lose the wattage, lessen the load on the amp and such.
