Posted August 15, 200817 yr OK I know they are out there Im just having trouble finding them. Its driving me nuts everywhere I look there is nothing but 4 ohm. Help me out guys so I can get some sleep.
August 15, 200817 yr You can get 2 ohm Orion HCCA mids on ebay for $120 shipped. I don't know about tweeters.
August 15, 200817 yr RE XXX, Infinity Kappa, and I think Image Dynamics Chameleons might be. Pretty sure ID has one of their lines at 2 ohms anyways.But honestly impedence is about the last thing you should be looking at when buying components. That extra power isn't going to matter at all if you don't like the way the components sound because you forced yourself to pick from a limited list. Not to mention 4 and even 8 ohm components can be just as loud as the 2 ohm components with the extra power.
August 15, 200817 yr Not to mention that when you lower impedance distortion rises, heat rises, dampening factor drops, efficiency drops, copper loss increases, and things (amps) don't last as long....There is a reason there is not a lot of 2 ohm components out there... And the ones that are "2 ohms" may not be what you may think is 2 ohms....
August 15, 200817 yr I am curious as to your reason for wanting 2 ohm components as I can't think of a single good reason why.
August 15, 200817 yr the only reason i could guess is that he wants to get full power from what ever amp hes using... M5 you have a topic that talks about ohms heat and power and what not right? i remember it being VERY long.... but i could not find it when i was looking to relay it to this OP
August 15, 200817 yr In the tech section, link below. Using all the amps power is meaningless and in fact a bad idea. I primarily use 8 ohm drivers in my vehicles.Note, this has nothing to do with subs, just front stage speakers.http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/forum/i...ic=7413&hl=
August 17, 200817 yr Think of that amp like a donkey........you load him down enough and he'll just sit there.......
August 22, 200817 yr Maybe he is trying to find drop-ins for a "premium" factory system that uses 2 ohm speakers stock. I know alot of guys with my car (G35) use 2 ohm speakers with the factory amp for the bose system. Not saying it's the greatest thing around, but its likely thats his goal

Not saying it's the greatest thing around, but its likely thats his goalA lot of guys with G35's need some assistance in understanding stereo's. Not only is it not the greatest idea, but it is rather a waste of money.

Not only is it not the greatest idea, but it is rather a waste of money.and still, once again, you don't NEED 2 ohm components to match those factory amps. Anything above that impedence will work, you'll just get less power.
