   I don't buy that at all. Since when does a resistor, even of a much   
   lower value than the speaker it's in series with, "protect" a speaker?   
   It's not a fuse; the resistor is just going to generate heat,   
   potentially lots of it, and possibly char the surrounding cabinetry   
   before going "poof".   
      
   If one wanted to protect a speaker, a fuse would be the way to do it,   
   not a lower-wattage resistor.
