From 4 to 16 ohms.

About as simple as rewiring gets.

For ease of installation I started to set my Weller WES50 soldering station on top of one of the speaker magnets. To my dismay I noticed the indicator LED was going bonkers, and having just recently lost a meter I was not optimistic when I pulled it out and saw a red indicator staring back at me. Temp was still up, so I pulled and switched the wires.

As it turns out, the magnetic field of the driver triggered the temperature lockout setting, which is of course reversible. Funny that feature has remain hidden to me for a decade.

And now, for something different.

Picked up a cheap, used Kramer Focus 111S Strat copy of Chinese origin to plant in the practice space so I can get away with riding my bicycle to practice & having a guitar at home.

Naturally, my expectations of build quality were not lofty to begin with.

Neck pickup magnet had liberated itself at some point. Since the neck pickup is where I'm typically switched, repair there became priority.

Light press with a screwdriver handle as the coil assembly sat inverted atop the outer shell fixed up the alignment in a jiffy.

I have some shielded wire that was originally manufactured to connect the antenna to radio frequency PCMCIA cards in hand held computers (from the historical 1990s), it's small diameter and well shielded with a solid core center conductor.

I figured I may as well just rewire the entire guitar for improved shielding.

Cleaned up the wiring too, minimal escalation in wire size and half as many leads.

While goofing around with it I rewired the tone circuits to sit on the bridge and middle pup, though I'm not in love with the caps in circuit I did find the range of tones more interesting, I'll probably recreate this scheme on my Fender, once I decide on capacitors.
