Could you use a speaker the right size but of lower impedance and fit a ballast resistor? Briggie would be the man to answer this one

or use two 8 ohm speakers in series ...Speaker A + Speaker B = Total Ohms Rating
8 Ohms + 8 Ohms = 16 Ohms or like plank said a ballast resistor , but it will need to be a fairly high wattage one , unless you want to start farting about connecting resistors in paralell , much easier to find a 16 ohm speaker lol , normally found in security systems too but its finding one the right size for your cabinet thats the prob |

how does a normal 10cm speaker compare? or could you use a slightly smaller speaker and make something to make up the difference?
