Im looking to get a 8" polk momo for my home theater, but its svc 4ohm and my receiver is 8ohm and up..are there resistors or something that can make the impedance rise to 8ohm?

i bet your impedence will be over 8 ohms //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif
It's been said dude. Either find yourself an impedence matching transformer, or get yourself a different sub. You can't add a resistor, or capacitor, or inductor, or transistor, or...HALP! anything i can add?
they laugh, but me and you both know you can do it to make your amp not go into protect on a burp //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gifjust use 1000 ft of speaker wire //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Have you tried running the receiver with the 4 ohm driver yet? I bet it will be just fine running at 4 ohms. Keep the volumes low and make sure nothing gets hot. If the amp is rated at more power than the sub can safely handle, you should be more than fine and the amp may not even get too hot.HALP! anything i can add?
