Hello everyone! I'm new to this, so apologies if my questions are a bit basic.
I'm working on a small project to "re-factor" an old Samsung HW-D570 soundbar into a compact 2.1 audio system. My plan is to move the amplifier section into a standalone box, connect two wired speakers to it, and keep the wireless subwoofer as it is.
According to the specs, the original soundbar uses two speakers described as "2-way, 80 Watt, 4 Ohm, wired". Each speaker actually contains two small woofers and one tweeter. The woofers are labeled "HUSNF-00900, 8 ohms." When I measure the impedance from the wires going to each speaker (which includes both woofers and the tweeter) with a multimeter, I get about 4.5 ohms.
I have a couple of questions:
Thanks in advance for any advice or insights!

I have a couple of questions:
- Is this a 2-way or 2.5-way speaker system? And are the two woofers in each speaker likely wired in series or parallel? I can't see the internal wiring clearly.
- Main question: Can I replace the current speakers with some spare Monitor Audio Radius 45 speakers I have? These are 8-ohm, compact satellite speakers rated for 15–50W, with a 3" woofer and a rear-firing tweeter. (Or should I rather use 4-ohm speakers? Or only keep the original speakers?)
Thanks in advance for any advice or insights!
