These are listed as 4 ohm speakers but the parts on eBay listed the inductor I saw as a .8 ohm and .40 mh. Would this work?

40mH will change the filter frequency response, your ear may or may not be sensitive enough to notice the difference between the fixed and the untouched speakers.

Will it work, yes.


Yes it will work. I have played around with these cross over networks and it takes about 0.20mH change before you notice a slight =/- to the treble. Buy 2 and if it changes the one too much, fix the second one too. I think they come in 5 or 10 pieces to the pack.

My old Kenwood 15 inch 3 ways have a switch for "Soft" "Normal" and "Clear" and all it was is a set of 3 different value Inductors about 0.15 to 0.20 mH apart and I think 0.60mH is the clear. But its been 18 years since I replaced the 15 inch woofers with a 15 inch Sony Xplode Sub Woofer. When the Helicopters fly over in a movie, they shake the neighbors house.
