[Shotimes] RE: Speaker impedance

[Victor Allen]

Well, maybe google can help that little knowledge.

Check out research into the effects of resistance in audio speaker circuits
(connections, wire guage and length, etc.).  Also circuits (all R/C type)
that in fact perform impedance matching.

Geez, maybe two 1-ohm resistors, one on each speaker terminal ;-)
