[QUOTE="1aespinoza, post: 8821339, member: 654802"] Got it. Were the Kenwoods installed by a shop? If so, did they mention to you anything about the impedance that was required? I have noticed that OEM speakers tend to be low wattage, so not alot of power is required to get them going. Best way overcome this with aftermarket speakers is for them to be the same impedance as the OEM, and also have a sensetivity of 92db. or higher. I see the Kenwoods are 30w RMS, so you are in the ballpark. They are 4 Ohms, so now we need to know the impdance of the OEM speakers. If they are 2 Ohms, then you are pushing the radio with the higher resistance. [/QUOTE]
