Hello. I have a K100 1x15 bass cab w/ the original 16 ohm 15" speaker. Out of curiosity, is it possible to lower the ohm load by hooking up a 16 ohm resistor (if they exist) to act as a pseudo-speaker in parallel with the CTS speaker? I would like to get more head room out of the cab without changing the speaker since it sounds awesome, and since original CTS 15's in good shape easily cost more than I paid for the cab (only $75 Very Happy

). Would this be a possilbe/effective method? Thanks!
