I finally broke down and replaced my stock H/U with a alpine CDA-9855 (for those considering the change, the stock speakers sound way better with an aftermarket deck).

The Problem:
I also bought infinity KAPPA60.7CS 6.5" components for the front and REF6412CFP 4x6 plates for the rear. Sales guy told me the front's were 2 ohm but I never thought about the back's. I looked it up and they are 4 ohm. Will this screw up the deck if I have 2 different ohms? Also, how will the deck work with the 2 ohms, I read a review and the person said his alpine H/U (no model) that kept cutting out. Should I amplify the fronts, or will the H/U be ok to power them? ditch the rears (or use H/U power for them) without causing damage to any of the stereo components?
TIA

The components will end up with a 4 ohm load (2 ohms tweeter and 2 ohms woofer). You shouldn't have any problems running them off the H/U.

 

I also am wondering about that, I heard most HU's are 4 ohms, I wanted to get the Infinity Kappa 63.7i and the Infinity Kappa 462.7cfp and both are 2 ohms, will it work or not?

 

why dont you run a 4 ch amp to the speakers they will sound alot better.

 

the cost factor. I was looking at the kicker zx200.4 though. Might find out tomorrow what ones worth.

 

Its all about the wiring... Youu can make it a 2ohm load if you need though.

 

how? Will it make enough of a difference to make it worthwhile?
