I actually found some 3 Ohm 10W resistors at MPJA (12518 RS) that might work. 16 (!!!) in parallel would give 16/3 = 5.3 or .188 Ohms, giving me darn close to a .19 Ohm resistance, and I'm getting 160W of heat dispersal (overkill, but that wont hurt) at it'll only cost $5. Think that'll do it? Oh, and these are designed for high heat use in power supplies.
