Impedance mix possible?

Question for all the electrical types about mixing impdances.

I have a set of 4ohm speakers in the rear and am purchasing a set that are 3ohm for the front. Off a vdrive deck amp, what will the impedance mix do if anything and what will a 4 channel external amp do if anything due to the impedance mix. I figure it'll drive the front stage harder, but I don't want anything to blow up, start a fire, send sparks shooting at my crotch while I drive, that sort a thing.

Impedance Match

releasedtruth,

As long as your amp is 2 ohm stable you should nave no problems
and with the impedance being so close, I for one believe you won't notice a difference in volume, As you might if the Impedance difference was more substancial I.E. 8 ohm vice 3.
