Okay, I have a 2 pairs of MIT Terminator 5 speaker cables and when measured they all show 2 ohms resistance. So if I use these cables will my amplifier actually see to more Ohms of resistance?
Since my speakers have 6 ohms resistance, does this mean if I use the MIT cables the amplifier will see a total of 8 Ohms resistance?
I ask all this because my amplifier specifications call for a minimum of 8 Ohm speakers when using 2 pairs. Well, my speakers are all 6 Ohm - but if the MIT cables give me 2 more Ohms resistance then I should be fine to hook all 4 speakers up becasue the amplifier will think they are actually 8 Ohm speakers. Right?
Thanks for any help on this.

Ah, yes. But those MIT Terminators have those large 'mysterious boxes attached to them. A cross-over by another name, perhaps? I wonder what the capacitance and inductance measurements would give us also?DigitalJunkie said:
That seems odd,speaker cables should be a nice low resistance,shouldn't they?
