Hello everybody happy thanksgiving ! i have a question about some resistors using in my old speaker ..... I was try to swap some old oxy cable inside and had a chance took out both crossover out of the speaker and found out the manufacture had used two difference brands of resistors in midrange drive section L and R crossovers ......had measure for all the resistors, fortunately they all had the same value , they are in Series 1.3ohm 20w x 3 .. 3.9 ohm total , i feel weird and bad why they did that ?? I think i have to change it. go to the store , the only had 1.2 ohm 20w and 1.5ohm 20w in stock , should i go for it ?? using 2 x 1.2 ohm + 1.3 ohm ?? or go for all 1.2 ohm x3 , sound may be difference ?? please suggest. Thanks .

It's hard to say, unless the speaker was finely dialled in to begin with. It's always good to have a selection.
If they still work then leave them alone. Brand really makes little difference in this style of resistors.
