From article <1815@unccvax.UUCP>, by cs00chs@unccvax.UUCP (charles spell): > > A friend has a small boom-box with blown 3.2 Ohm 1.5 Watt speakers. What would > the ramifications of replacing it with a 8 Ohm 4 Watt speaker? It's OK, if the sensitivity of the 4 W speaker is low enough (or the amp is strong enough to drive the speaker). I would't quarantee equally loud voice, however, since the higher impedance and (possibly) higher sensitivity will have some effect... But the amp will not be short-circuited, it would be the case if you put a 3.2 Ohm speaker to a 8 Ohm output. You can at least try the speakers!
