Impedance change!?

Hi, 

I'm after some expert advice :)

I got hold of a pair of Celestion15s recently and they blew a channel on my Sharp SM1122 amp (it was my Dad's) which accepts 4-16 ohms. 

Impedance is a rock solid 5.2 ohms on one speaker, and a wavering 11 ohms on the other (so it's highly suspect!) The label says 4-8ohms. 

I've googled of course, but can find no reason for this difference and would appreciate any input on how I can resolve this issue. 

Kind regards, 

Paul

Thank you very much for taking the time to reply (apart from Kenjit of course!), I really appreciate it :) 

I'll check wires and see what I can find, I'm aware the DMM doesn't give an accurate figure, but I just need ballpark at this stage of troubleshooting. 

I was told the crossover doesn't affect impedance, but I'll look into that now thanks to your advice. 

Kind regards, 

Paul
