Good point. I have a vintage pair of R&A full range (no whizzer), 8 ohm, 8" drivers that seem to be VERY efficient, in an open baffle. I have a pair of vintage, efficient, 8 ohm, 12" woofers, each in a sealed cabinet, but they are still not loud enough to match. I like these old woofers (from an EV 4), and can get another identical pair, so I thought I'd build bass cabinets with two woofers in each, but that means either a 4 ohm or 16 ohm bass box. So I'm trying to figure how to successfully mate the 8" full rangers with the bass box, hence my desire to increas the impedence of the 8".

Also, Id like to keep the complete system as efficient as possible so I can experiment using them with low power SET amps in the future.

Thanks again - Rob
