[QUOTE="ThxOne, post: 8668583, member: 675210"] It all depends on the speaker, how its mounted and the power you feed it. Being that they are two ohm speakers, they will pull more power from your amplifier which should help them be louder than say the same speaker with a 4 ohm voice coil on the same amplifier. Infinity and JBL are owned by the same parent company and both offer 2 ohm speakers. I used to run JBL components (2ohm speakers) powered by an Alpine amp... they were really loud. I switched to a 4 ohm component set, my current Kenwood eXcelons and they were noticeably quieter on the same Alpine amp. 2 ohm speakers are louder on the same amplifier power if the amp can handle 2ohms stereo. There are other factors like sensitivity that matter as well... if you can find speakers above 90db sensitivity AND that are 2ohm voice coils... I personally think they will easily get louder than a closely matched 4 ohm speaker all day. I am throwing out Infinity and JBL because I know they offer 2 ohm speakers. I know there are other manufacturers that do as well. [/QUOTE]
