Can the Alpine 9815 handle 2ohm speakers?

Hey!

My '97 prelude comes with a pair of 2ohm speakers in the rear. I plan to amp the fronts but wanted to run the rears off the deck. Could using deck power for these 6x9 2ohm speakers cause damage to either the deck or the speakers?

it can push em for a while, but it will end up just shutting off because of overheating. We did a panasonic on 2 ohm speakers in a pathfinder and it did alright. Sounded like shit.

Well, I'm getting new front speakers and an amp, but thought I'd just power the rears off deck. The amp would power the fronts and a sub. I don't want to fill my trunk up with amps so this is a good configuration for me.

yup there is a amp on the rear deck... just for them...

what you can do is rewire the back bypass the amp and just put new 6x9
