Hello,
I have an audio amp, 40 watts RMS per channel (8 ohm) and I would like
to plug to one channel a small speaker 19 watts (8 ohm).
4 questions:
1- What circuit should I build to adapt?
2- How can I know how much ampere the amp is using to drive one
loudspeaker?
3- A better suitable newsgroup to post this question?
Search on the internet:
4- What words should I use to find some appropriate technical texts?
Thank you.

If you look at my second question 2 above from original posting...
because I do not want to guess how much ampere is going to one
loudspeaker. I still have the manual.
I do not want to open my cabinets and install a few fuses. I would go
with a cable fuse between the amp and the speaker. This is a temporary
solution. I would also be safe by calculating the value of the fuse to
6/10 or 7/10 of the volume. When I was a kid, I liked to play with the
home light like 0/10 to 10/10 to 0/10 for fun as the disco lights and
I do not want a kid to start to play on the volume knob as disco
volume with those 19watts speakers.
2- The fuses that you talked about are regular fuses or special
speaker fuses?
