[QUOTE="Jimi77, post: 8841543, member: 673702"] Wired in series, you'll be at 6 ohms and reduce output considerably (going from 1.33 ohm to 6 ohm will reduce output ~6-7db). Running the Bose in series with the (superior) Focal driver actually reduces power to the Focal speaker. I think you'd be better off ditching the Bose driver or putting a ~50 watt 2 ohm resistor in series with the Bose driver, which would bring your final load up to 2 ohms and attenuate the Bose driver which I imagine is considerably louder in your set up. The Bose driver probably has a good 2-3db sensitivity advantage and it's getting twice the power as the Focal (+3db). What you perceived as sounding better when adding the Bose driver into the system is really just more DBs. [/QUOTE]
