I got a question? Ok i just installed a new headunit and i got the direct plug in wire setup it was eay and nice! Ok i saw that there was one plug i couldnt use agin and i figured it was to the Factory amp, was i right? so is there away to hook it up? if not can i just use 4oms door speakers? insted of 2oms? thanx
The other plug is for the CD changer. Even if you don't have one it's there. The wiring harness you used to hook up the H/U has already been routed to the amp via the factory wiring. I just left the second "plug" hanging and tucked it back out of the way.

You dont have to go with 2ohm door speakers if you would rather use something esle..... just keep in mind that they wont be using as much power and you will need to adjust the front/rear fade accordingly so the rears arent overpowering the fronts.

I need to save the above paragraph so I can just paste it to future posts. I seem to be repeating myself often on this subject. lol

Yes it's true that a 2 ohm speaker will draw twice the current of a 4 ohm at the same volume (voltage) level (hence twice the power). But electrical power does not equate to sound power. It all depends on the efficiency (sensitivity) of the speaker. My Alpine SPS-170A's I have in the doors are just as loud as the stockers were. In fact, I was actually surprised that I did not have to adjust the fader after I first put them in. Granted I have stock speakers in the sail panels.
What are you basing your remarks from? From your ears or is it back by scientific data? Yes, speaker efficiency does play a factor but , based on Ohm's Law, with such a substantial voltage drop the efficiency is negilible.
