I've read through all posts regarding upgrading factory speakers and I'm still confused on this.

Some say that it is ok to replace the factory 2ohm with 4ohm speakers while others say it's not a good idea.

Currently I plan on installing a 12" type R 2-ohm subwoofer and upgrading the factory speakers. I want to upgrade the factory speakers without using an amp and keep the stock deck. I have the g35s with Bose. What should I go for 2-ohm or 4-ohm speakers?

 

Anyone?

 

hey man, i wouldn't worry about it. i've personally replaced 2 and 1 ohm stock speakers with 4ohm models. really what changes is the output of the amplifier. lower ohms means higher wattage output. it won't adversely affect the system although you *might* experience a decrease in perceived peak volume. to give an example, the alpine MRP-F300 subwoofer amp puts out 75W at 2ohms and 50W at 4ohms.

enjoy, you won't burn anything up.

 

higher impedance speakers offer wider sound stage and more accurate sound

lower impedance are easier to drive... dont need as much power.

expect to hear a little white-noise between songs with 2 ohm speakers.

 

excellent point that i didn't know. glad i learned something.

 

Thanks guys! I knew someone out there had an answer for me!
