I have four pairs of electrovoice speakers and none of them measure that way. The dc resistance is way higher than that in all cases so i would be leery of a fake 18 inch woofer for sure especially if the magnet is small, ev did not use small magnet assemblies in any of their woofers.
Electrovoice 18" Woofer: smallish Magnet; only 2.3 ohms?
I’ve been watching some electro-voice drivers, from their Vintage Model E-V Six, drawn by the 18" woofers,
original specs say 8 ohms

here’s a pair of the woofers

1. 2.4 OHMS? My vintage drivers, Crossover, and L-Pads from that era are nominal 16 ohms. I never measured them.
2. Smallish Magnet on 18"? My 15" paper woofers, 15W 37 lbs, have much bigger magnets. (the 18" are 1/2" thick styrofoam).

3. Mine is 16 ohms, I know they make a 8 ohm version, yet that one shows 3.5 ohms???
Help me avoid trouble by ignorance please,
thanks, Elliott
