The 8" is From a Sony Powered Subwoofer
the 6.5" is From a Sony Passive Subwoofer
the 8" is abit more Usable...since its 8 Ohms
the 6.5" is 1.5 Ohms...where can i Find an Amp thats Stable at that low of an Ohm Rating?
(BTW does anyone else think the 6.5" looks a little bit like a TB? (Left)
not planning to throw these away...nice that they have Rubber Surrounds.

Are you sure the 6.5 is 1.5 ohm? i.e. have you measure the resistance of the drivers? The reason i'm asking is i have an old bass reflex from a sony surround system (still have the rest of the gear as well) it says impedence 1.3 ohm on the back of the box but i found this pretty hard to believe so i measure the driver and found it to be 3.3 ohm so its probably a 4 ohm speaker.
So what made you pull these speakers out of their enclosures?
the 8" was Pulled out to upgrade the Sub with a Higher Quality Driver and Amp.
the 6.5" is for the Same Reason...
besides...spare drivers.

No way to test it for sure...prehaps it isnt 1.5 Ohms
do they even make amps that will handle a Speaker who's OHM Rating is that low?

Yeah i think the 6.5 is 4 ohms...but why do they list it as 1.5 Ohms?
At typical HIFI/HT power requirements there's inexpensive prosound amps that's stable into a nominal 2 ohm load, so shouldn't have a problem with these, though I too seriously doubt they're < 4 ohms nominal and probably 8 ohms since few (no?) mainstream consumer receivers are rated 4 ohm. I mean they could have made special high current capability woofers/amps for their HTIB systems, but the added cost doesn't seem doable to me some of these system's low 'street' pricing.
