75 watts @ 2 ohms..recommendation?

[farmerehsan 10+ year member]

Im looking for a set of speakers (mids and highs) 75 watts @ 2 ohms cuz thats what my JL audio amp puts out.

any speakers under $65 you kno about?

amps specs:

Rated Power (stereo): 45W RMS x 2 @ 4 ohm ; 75W RMS x 2 @ 2 ohm

Rated Power (bridged): 90W RMS x 1 @ 8 ohm ; 150W RMS x 1 @ 4 ohm

why not just run it at 4ohm? the tradeoff of more power at lower impedance is negated by a lower efficiency anyway

will it be louder tho?

As a rule of thumb a +3dB increase in sound level requires a doubling in power.

It would be slightly louder with 75w over 45w, but in reality you probably wouldn't notice it until you jumped up to 150-200w.

I don't think you're going to be able to find 2 ohm components or even coaxials in the $60 range. You could always run two sets of 4 ohm coaxials in parallel which would present a 2 ohm load.

With the power you have available I'd concentrate on an efficient set of 4 ohm speakers.

Ok... I lied //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Did some research and there *are* some 2 ohm coaxials that can be had in the $60-$80 range.

6.5" coaxials:

- JBL GTO628

- Infinity Reference 6022si (shallow mount)

- JBL GTO638

- Infinity Kappa 62.9IS (shallow mount)

- JBL P662s (shallow mount)

- Infinity Kappa 652.9i

- Kenwood KFC-X1710

Similar models are available in 5.25" as well.

For 2 ohm components the closest to your price range is the JBL GT0607c which you can get for around $95 shipped.

Good luck!

The JBL's are the best out of those choices, I have owned all of them .
