[QUOTE="Daremo, post: 2758272, member: 574947"] going to replace the entire stock Bose system in my 95 A6 sedan. Not going to spend a ton of money but I want it to sound good. Heres what i have in mind so far. one of the Alpine IPOD heads (probably the CDA-9883) I already picked up an amp (ALPINE MRP-F240) I have been looking at a couple different speakers. For the front, stock is 4" but I believe I can fit 5.25" into the doors. Looking at the INFINITY KAPPA 52.7i. For the rear I need 6x9. Was looking at the Polk Audio DB690s. I have plenty of electronics and mechanical experience, I just haven't spent alot of time working on audio systems. That being said, I noticed a couple of things about the speakers I am considering. The Kappas are a 2 ohm speaker while the Polks are a 4ohm speaker. The amp has ratings for both impedances, will I be doing something wrong to go with those particular speakers with this amp? Should I just get 4 of the same imp rating? I am not looking for a huge system nor anything competitive, I just want something that plays crisp and loud and will sound good playing led zep, NIN or something obsure like badly drawn boy. Thanks for any help, Rob [/QUOTE]
