2ohm source, 4 ohm speaker ok, so i want to replace my front and rear speakers (the 6.5inchers that are powered by the amp) but as we all know the power coming from the amp is at 2ohms, and i can not find any 2 ohm speakers. so my only option is to get a 4 ohm speaker. my question is what will happen? will it hurt anything, will it sound good?
please let me know. thanks.

i think i might be looking into getting me a pair of those element designs and putting them in my sail panel location. those look like the can handle some serious bass for a 6.5 in woofer. just wondering if anybody has heard these or even has a pair?

Those EU-700 speakers look great. I had got these kicker midbass drivers for 180 installed and they did not sound no where near as good as the factory subs. I wonder if the EU-700 will sound as good or better acuse if they do I will get those. Does anyone have a set, and if so how do they sound?

Were the kicker's rated at 2 ohm's? Someone on ED's forum replaced the stock subs with the 700's in his 98 T/A and they made a big improvment in the bass notes. The 700's are a direct replacement in how the power rating goes. But you'll have to cut the metal in the frame behind the magnet, or it wont fit.

Remember that the amp does not put out 2 ohms. When we say 2 ohms we mean its 2 ohm stable (capable of a 2 ohm load). The voice coil on the speakers actually determine the resistance that the amp sees in terms of ohms. You can learn alot from the stickies at the top of this fourm
