[QUOTE="tommyboy76, post: 8715937, member: 680879"] I hope someone here can help with my quandry. My vehicle (2010 Kia Soul) came with a premium sound system and the speakers were shot. So I decided to upgrade the head unit (Alpine ilx650) and door speakers. From what I understand the stock amp is pushing 2ohms. I am not certain of the wattage rating of the amp, my questions are as follows... 1- should I install 2 ohm speakers as opposed to 4 ohm 2- if I have a set of two way 4ohm speakers with w/91db sensitivity and a set of 2 way 2ohm speakers w/88db sensitivity, which is the better option? Bonus Question... Adding an amplified head unit to an existing amped system (not bypassed), does the head unit add wattage to the system ? Any and all feedback is appreciated. Thanks [/QUOTE]
