Hello dear audiophiles, please help a newbie 🙂
I have an old 2.1 logitech Z4 system( https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Z-4I-2-1-Speaker-System/dp/B000ARD9PG ) that i scrapped for parts because of the woofer driver that was buzzing.
What i wanna try to do is use the integrated amplifier and some more speakers that i have and build a tower speaker.
The 2.1 system parts:

The other 5 speakers:

https://ibb.co/Tq5hzz6
How am i imagining this is like so: instead of the bass driver i want to wire two of the 8ohm speakers that i have in parallel to match the impedance, same thing i wanna do for the 1 st channel and for the 2 nd channel i wanna combine the two 4 ohm dome drivers of the system linked in series and those linked in parallel with one of the 8 ohm.
Think this will work?
Any advice?
Thanks a lot for your time 😀

Personally, I would ignore the small drivers from your 2.1 system and simply use the 8 ohm twin cone drivers (May I assume all five 8 ohm drivers are identical?)
First thing to do, of course, is to remove the transformer(s) mounted on the 8 ohm driver(s).
I would parallel two of the 8 ohm drivers to provide a 4 ohm woofer combination and simply use a single 8 ohm driver for each of the left and right channels.
This arrangement will be safe to run off your 2.1 amp. The higher impedance of the L/R drivers compared to the woofer combination is unlikely to make an audible difference and, in my opinion, provides a neater solution than that which you have suggested.
