I need to replace a voice coil for an 802 8 ohm driver. All I have is the 16 ohm coil. Can I use it? It has the crossover with the adjustable high freq dial.

Use it in good health but understand that hf output will be slightly lower. Just adjust the knob for more hf. Louis

That's what I figured. Thanks Louis

Your crossover point will also shift too...impedances must match and you are going to drift by a factor of 2 on your impedance.
