it might be a stupid question, but I'm not up on my electronics ... would it be possible to do that swap or would a 4 ohm speaker not get enough power or whatever to run from a system setup for 2 ohm speakers?

ok thanks guys ... I looked around that link, and came accross the Rockford RFP4406 suggestion or the JL 6w0-4 ... but after looking around online I can't find EITHER 6.5" sub anywhere.
Anybody have any idea on where I could pick up one or the other?
