Actualy, the coil inside the bass unit is probably burned (thank you niece !!!   >:( ) it's no the rubber or that's gone...

Less watts for a lower load?  Is that correct?  I seem to remember always reading watt rating and it was always higher for a lower load...

You are right, I said it backwards.

ShinAce:
Backwards indeed.

A pair of 8 ohm speakers in parallel is a 4 ohm load. Lower number loads are harder on the amp, they create more heat. In this case, it's a little more than double. TWICE THE HEAT!!!

You can use an impedance matching transformer, EXPENSIVE!!!

Or you can pick up some 10 watt 4 ohm resistors and use those as dummy speakers to get the load you want. That's how I would do it unless max volume is an absolute necessity.
