If I have an audio speaker signal that is rated for 1 Watt @ 32 Ohms, is it safe to wire a 1W/8 Ohm speaker with a 24 Ohm resistor on one of the speaker leads? SIGNAL SOURCE ------|24 Ohm Resistor|-----SPEAKER + SIGNAL SOURCE ------------------------------SPEAKER -

Speaker with resistor to create proper load?

If your source can drive a 32 ohm load and you connect it to a 32 ohm load it will be OK.
