[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8686196, member: 650438"] higher ohms is less power, lower ohms will force the amp to produce more power, if you go below the minimum safe impedance of the amp, it'll blow or catch on fire. A good chance swapping speakers wont do anything, actually has a higher chance of harming your overall sound quality than helping because the had unit and all the built in tuning is specific for your current speakers, AKA specific crossover points and EQ curves To make up for the cheap speakers they use. Aftermarkets were made to be used with a relatively flat signal, however when you combine the stock boosted signal with aftermarket speakers you gonna get a big nasty pile of sh*t for sound. You are using a custom tuned signal made for different speakers on other speakers, you are literally playing the lottery, one in a million chance of you making a switch and it sounds good. Most people that just make a speaker swap dont really gain anything, in most cases on this forum they all lost major sound quality unless they couple the upgrade with a DSP/head unit upgrade with 100+ watts of amplification per driver and really heavy door sound deadening and acoustical treatments along with a really good audiophile tune on the DSP(digital sound processor) [/QUOTE]
