Amplifier 8 Ohms, Speakers 3 Ohms

Hello,

I would like to recover existing speakers from my old home theater system to connect them to a new amplifier (which hasn't been purchased yet).
I've read some discussions about this.
I would like to know how I can keep this speaker system and install it on an amplifier that has a higher minimum impedance than these.

For example: Amp: 8ohm
Speakers: 3ohm

Would it be enough to add a small module before each speaker to increase the impedance?

Thank you for your help!

Configuration: Windows 7 / Internet Explorer 8.0

    Hello,
    you cannot connect 3ohm speakers to an 8ohm amplifier,
    there is a risk of overheating,
    hoping I have helped you
