[QUOTE="trumpet, post: 8327440, member: 628688"] The thought process behind this is the factory speaker wires will almost certainly be used when upgrading speakers. As the speaker wires warm up with music playing the impedance will rise, just like what happens to the wires in the speaker. Impedance also changes greatly within the speaker. It is never "sitting" at 2 ohms for very long, so there is little risk of overheating the radio. Polk, JBL and Infinity all have speakers that are less than 4 ohms. These are companies with in-house engineering and they definitely know what they're doing. It is very possible these speakers will sound a little louder. [/QUOTE]
