Alright, first off... I know the X-530's aren't that great, and I know the sub I'm trying to use isn't that great, no need to tell me. lol I don't have any money after just moving across the state and losing almost everything we own in a house fire, so I can't buy anything better.
The problem: X-530 sub sounds horrible all of a sudden. I don't think it's blown, but it has a very muffled sound and very little output.
The proposed solution: I have a Pioneer HTP102 SW woofer sitting around. I figured I could run it from the input for the sub on the 530. (The wires going to just the sub inside the inclosure.)
The problem with the solution: The 540's sub is 4 ohm at 25 watts, the Pioneer is 8 ohm at 100watts max.
Now I don't think there would be a problem hooking an 8ohm to the 4ohm amp as long as I'm not cranking it up really loud, but I'm not positive on this. But I need a sub, as the 530's sound terrible without the bass.
Any suggestions?

The reason lots of pc/multimedia speakers sound awful is because of there puny drivers and/or no tweeter at all so...
