A note about nominal impedance:
Nominal Impedance is the
manufacturer's specification given for
the speaker. It is meant to represent the
average impedance a speaker presents
to an amp. Resistance fluctuates
constantly on the speaker while it
playing, so if you try to measure DC
resistance on a speaker with a multi
meter while
you will most likely not get a reading
consistent with the ohm value stamped
on
the back of the speaker's magnet.
