hmmm...would this work?

My Polk PSW350 is blown. I have to send it back to Polk for a replacement driver. In the meantime, could I hook up the amp to a spare car sub I have lying around? I've got a 4-ohm a DVC sub. The 8-ohm signal into a 4-ohm speaker worries me though...is there any way to reduce the resistance?

Put an 8-ohm in parallel.

Parellel would halve the resistance of the speakers though, not the source...hmm...what if I ran the DVC sub in a series? Would that work?

I misread. 4-ohm in series.
Edit: Use fuse.

it'll work, it just won't be as loud. For max power transfer you need the amp's output resistance to be the same as the speaker's input resistance.

ghetto rigging complete!
