Quoted from magnoliarichj:

Those are 4 ohm speakers I thought that was taboo and you could only use 8ohm speakers.

If you use 4 ohm speakers then you need to wire them in series. If they are wires in parallel then the amp will see an unsafe load. However, the lpad presents a load to the amp and the ones parts express sells are either 4 or 8 ohms. So he is probably ok. Best is to measure impedance at the sound board connector.

Quoted from bpull:

I was guessing that the the crossover is 4 ohms plus the 4 ohm woofer = the 8 ohms needed.
RIght?
Brian

The crossover is probably insignificant here. Net result is likely a 4 ohm load at the sub amp. No problem.
