I was wondering has anyone ever tried putting a resistor on a speaker to lower the ohm load? is there a way to do this?

Adding a resistor will increase the load.

Crossfire had a "FIT PLUG" for some of there subs.

Now i think its built into the sub or something like that.

Had i seen this sooner i would have told you it would be a fail.

Trying to change the impedance of a sub aint possible. Cant do it. The resistor in thoery would drop the total resistence (ohms) if wired in parallel but it eats up the power you would gain from running the amp at the lower impedance.... defeating the purpose of all this. And would cause other problems too.
