Wanting to eliminate one horn on my ss-1s - any hazards? Impedence change?

Hey all.

I will eventually upgrade, but am stuck with ss1 surrounds for the time being. Due to space constraints in my dedicated theater room, I can't have a speaker sticking out from the wall. So, I'll be building an in-wall box for my ss1 surrounds this weekend and setting them basically flush with the wall.

Questions:

1. Can I remove one tweeter without much change in impedence?

2. Will baffle step be an issue now?

3. Will I really regret losing the bibole tweeter set up (will direct surrounds be ok)?

4. Am I fooling myself because the stock bipole crossover won't support just one horn?

If I need to keep both horns, I can build a 3d baffle that accomodates the stock angle in an inset fashion.

Thanks for any advice you can give. I'm pushing the speakers with a 10 year old Denon AVR2800 (yeah, I know). Center is an sc1 (yeah, I know). I will be junking these as soon as possible for a better set up. I was also surprised at the cheap, soft plastic basket on the 5.25 woofer. Oh well, it was bottom of hte line in 2000.

Thanks
