2 R15's as a center using series Question.
Hey guys, I am thinking of getting some Polk R15's later for using as a center instead of one center that cost twice as much and has one tweeter instead of 2... leaving the 2 centers canceling out each other issue....
Anyways, I know I have to run them in series, instead of parallel because my receiver
which delivers 65watts a channel 5.1.. 8 ohm...
If I do run them in series, 2x8ohm speakers, this I am assuming from researching, will create a 16ohm load for my receiver.
Is this safe or not to use for my Onkyo 65watts a channelx5 for a center that is 16ohm?
I mean, isn't the higher the ohm, the easier it is for the receiver to drive?
thanks.

thanks.The way one uses a product is a much more SIGNIFICANT factor than which product(s) he uses. -
i wouldn't do it. If you're that concerned about price then just use one r15 for the center.
