[QUOTE="fade, post: 1044130, member: 562412"] hello y'all, im gonna need some expert advice from you guys since i am completely dumbfounded by all these ohms and amps and etc. i was working on a friend's hyundai 2001 xg300, which comes with a cd unit and 6 speakers (two 6x9s, two 6.5s, and two tweeters). however, he wanted to use his ipod, his options were to buy another oem headunit with a tape deck or a fm modulator. [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eyebrow.gif.fe2c18d8720fe8c7eaed347b21ea05a5.gif[/IMG] since the fm modulator would require tapping into an electrical source/mounting, i decided that a direct oem replacement would be easier. so we bought a cd/tape deck from a 2004 xg350, and added it in. however, this came from a "premium audio" system with infinity components with an external amp. so it sounds like crap in my friend's non premium system. [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif[/IMG] so the ohms and amps were different. original unit - 4ohms, 10amps new unit - 2ohms, 5amps now is there a way to salvage the new unit? is it possible to run a 2ohm unit with 4ohm speakers? would adding an external amp solve this problem? if so, what do you recommend to run a stock system with dismal speakers (which are 40watts max). or should we just buy a fm modulator [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/furious.gif.fc81ca146dbff91fede3ed290dbc4f4c.gif[/IMG] i hope that made sense. thanks guys [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/cool.gif.3bcaf8f141236c00f8044d07150e34f7.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
