[QUOTE="moe3152, post: 8842469, member: 688925"] That's what I thought over and over. And I just checked them again with 9 volts and the wires that cause the 2 cones to move outward do not have the capacitor or resistor wired to them - if I'm right in connecting the positive pole of the battery to the positive pole of the speaker. And there is no inductor on the woofer. I was able to look up the part number and it's a resistor. I'm thinking that they increased the impedance because these are rear shelf speakers that are wired in parallel with the 8 ohm rear door speakers and if they didn't increase it then the combined impedance would have been too low for the amp. Vaguely, I seem to remember that I read something a long time ago on a Volvo forum that the woofer and tweeters we're wired in series on these speakers. Would that explain it? [/QUOTE]
