Angelgz2, did you discuss with Paul Speltz how to solve this problem using his Zero transformer?

IF all 4 drivers were 8 ohms the easiest and cheapest way to connect them to the amp would be to wire them in a series / parallel configuration.
* First two 8 ohm speakers wired in series with one another. 8 ohm + 8 ohm = 16 ohms.
* Second pair of 8 ohm drivers wired in series with one another, = 16 ohms.
* Then parallel the two 16 ohm loads together which = 8 ohms. Connect the 8 ohm load to the amp.
I doubt you can return the Zero autotransformers for a refund. So you may be able to use them on the 4 ohm drivers. The transformer would be wired in series with one of the 8 ohm speakers. The 4 ohm speaker would connect to the output of the transformer.
If you can return the Zero transformers take part of the savings and buy a couple new 8 ohm drivers to replace the 4 ohm ones.
Problem (A).
I was inquiring about adding a resistor between the amplifier and a DIY speaker (1.8 ohm) and learned that only the "Zero Former" by Paul Speltz could solve the problem. Paul was nice and explained in layman's term to me why using a resistor could not work because it basically "kills" the damping factor.

Problem (B).
Now I got a pair of zero's coming, I got another problem. 3 out of 4 drives are 8 ohm and one is 4 ohm. Will adding a resistor between just this drive and the binding post mess up the damping factor of the whole system, or will it only affect the damping factor of this one drive?
Problem (B)?
