2 OHM speakers
I need a set of 6 1/2" door speakers for my truck. A friend has a 2-way Clarian set out of a SAAB thay he'll give to me for next to nothing. The only thing is that they are rated a 2 OHM's resistance.
Is the 2 OHM's a problem ? - If I get them will I have to modify them in some way? - the Ford door speakers I have now are rated at 4 OHM's and did sound good until they got damaged.
Thanks for any help,
Oscar

I want to connect them to the speaker output from the radio. The radio I have has plenty of power to drive the speakers. The radio did fine with the 4 OHM speakers I had before.
I am hoping I can connect the 2 OHM speakers inplace of the old 4 OHM speakers. If I can't just plug in the 2 OHM speakers, what do I need to do to make them work?
Thanks for any help

how much were you going to buy them off him for? i wouldn't wire them in a series because it wouldn't be a stereo anymore, it wouldn't be two channel, everything would be mono. same signal to each speaker. but i wouldn't run the radi oat 2 ohm either, that will be too much, it'll either fry it or the thd% (audioable distortion) will be so hi that it will sound like crap.

Thanks Guys,
I am going to pass on the 2 OHM speakers and look around for some 4 OHM type.
Thanks for the info. I am glad I didin't just try to connect the 2 OHM speakers - It looks like I might have also been buying a new radio too.
