As far as "Fender influenced", that part is just not true, except that we were getting a lot of burned out speakers from Fender and as a result, I proposed the "F" series to Bill Thomas to eliminate this and increase business in the MI market.
As far as impedance vs. DC resistance went, a new 16 ohm speaker had a DC resistance of about 11 ohms. A new 8 ohm speaker had a DC resistance of about 6 ohms.
