Kevin...you didn't state a common amp in your first post, so I had to cover all bases.

the volume difference is small...half power is 3 Db, NOT 6. 6 is 1/4 power.

OTOH I don't think you read where I said 16 ohms on an 8 ohm crossover will cause a screwed up response. You should do the parallel resistor as stated.

Really, you should get an 8 ohm fram.

What you want to do can be done, as can a lot of things. It just isn't a good way.

It isn't just the volume! The mismatch will mess with your crossover. I don't think you understand that part.
