increasing impedence of a driver

Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

69.156.55.83

If I want to use an 8 ohm driver with a 16 ohm driver in a speaker design, is there a way to make the amp see the 8 ohm driver as 16 ohms? Is it as simple as adding 8 ohms of resistor somewhere? (somehow I doubt it :-)

I apologize for this possibly obvious question, but I'd really like to use the drivers I already have, and don't know how to effectively do this

Thank you,
Rob
