I have two Passports...a 300 Pro and a 500 Pro. If my 500 were to malfunction, could I then use the amp/board from the 300 with the speakers from the 500? (Space is limited and I don't want to have to bring the 300 speakers.) Both sets of speakers are 4 Ohm.

Thanks.

Passeport 500 speakers can handle 500 watts, Passeport 300 amp send 300 watts and both are 4 ohms .

You can use the 500 watts speaker on 300 watts amps.

It might be interesting to try them out first, just to hear the difference. The 500 woofers are larger than the 300, so they are capable of playing lower frequency sounds better, but likely require a bit more wattage to drive them well. There would definitely be no damage mismatching speakers to the amp, but likely there would be a change in the tone. Maybe it's a good change. Maybe it's a bad change. You should try it beforehand to see.
