[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8296380, member: 614752"] Get a sharpie and write "ALPINE" on them if you want them to say Alpine. If Crutchfield is saying 2 ohm and your DMM is reading closer to 2 ohm then it's safe to say that's what they're specs are supposed to be. A 10-15% variance in specs on speakers isn't unusual with manufacturing tolerances and just plain rounding off when they publish specs. IMO you would have done best to save the 500$ and go all aftermarket from the start. I'd say replace one thing at a time until you're happy but I wouldn't worry at all about just adding some 4ohm speakers in their place. As you say, 2 ohm drivers are pretty uncommon and will drastically reduce your options (if you'll have any options at all!) Definitely this ^^^ [/QUOTE]
