8 ohm L-Pad for 16ohm speaker?

[Augusts]

Hi

Is it possible to convert a variable 8ohm L-Pad attenuator for use with a 16 ohm speaker? I know that for a 4 ohm speaker you have to add a 4 ohm resistor in parallel with the input but I dont know the wattage rating for the resistor.

I could be using Monacor AT-62H

You must duplicate all resistors. But why do you need such a thing?

That would mean two L pads?

I have to attenuate a 16 ohm midrange driver

You cannot convert the 8 ohm attenuator.

If you want variable control of level, you will have to obtain a 16 ohm attenuator like the one available from the supplier below.

16 Ohm L-Pad Attenuator - 50 Watts - Willys-Hifi Ltd

If you have the value of the resistors used, you can duplicate the value of each unit.
