I have raw speakers and they are all 8 ohm. Is it possible to use those 8 ohm speakers to get 6 ohm either 3 way or 2 way system? Or is it possible to get a total of 6 ohm combining 4 ohm and 8 ohm speakers?

    look guys i did not join this club to to pick up an argument but rather to learn something about electronics....Thanks Ben..to answer your question...i recently bought Pioneer VSX 917 and set of Jamo S 606 speakers and they are all rated 6 ohm. now i have extra raw speakers combination of 8 ohm and 4 ohm. I wanted to assemble them and hook them up to VSX 917 ( set to 6 ohm ) on speaker B.

    You would be better off building 8ohm speakers, and those guys are referring to mister Ohm;)

    It ain't nothing personal, Nile; it's just that some of the people on here have a weird sense of humor.
