I understand what you're saying. There is no crossover after the amp and so there is no filter to overcome. You have a direct connection to each voice coil.

But, you have eight reactive loads hooked up simultaneously to one amplifier output. Perhaps each load has a slightly different length of wire getting back to the amp too. I'm not so sure you can classify that as a simple load. Simpler than going through a crossover, maybe. But not simple like single driver simple.

It's all academic though because it is working so well for you. I'm just thinking out loud. That's a big 2.5 Watts in the EM7! Impressive.

Btw, all of your projects look like a lot of fun. What were we talking about ? . . . . oh yeah, wire. I get sidetracked so easily.
