When I was fooling around with adding stereo speakers to my 57 Packard in the "good ol' days" I seem to remember that some speakers had transformers attached to them. ( Sweet ride..staight 8, used more oil than gas)
Impdence Question
In experimenting with an unusual loudspeaker enclosure for which only a certain high-end car speakers fit the design criteria, there is concern about their low impedance damaging the amplifier. Driver impedance ranges from 2.8 ohms to 3.4 ohms. Will this do harm? And if several speakers are used in a 5.1 surround setup, does this increase the load and the chance of damage?
If the low impedance is indeed risky, is their any means of raising it perhaps by placing something in the chain (other than wiring a pair together for series or parallel operation)?
Thank you in advance.
