I've got a 2018 Nissan Rogue with the upgraded 7" headunit and 6 speaker non-bose system. I'd like to upgrade the (4) 6.5" speakers that are in the doors, while leaving the 2 tweeters in the corner dash alone.
Nissan has complicated matters because the whole system is a 2ohm system. I know that if I use a speaker other than one designed for 2ohm, I'm going to have a loss in volume. To complicate matters, a friend of mine keeps telling me if a speaker is more efficient that it will make up for the loss in volume, so I'm totally at a loss here and need some advice.
I'm not interested in installing an amp or subwoofer, just replacing the factory paper speakers with something that will sound a little better.
There seems to be one OEM fit drop in replacement:

This unit is a 2-ohm speaker that seems to be designed to work with the factory unit as-is. It just seems a little.. underwhelming considering the specs.
The other alternative that my friend keeps pointing out is a 3-ohm speaker:

He keeps telling me that while it's a 3-ohm speaker, the loss in volume would not be that dramatic, and the speaker is more efficient so there wouldn't be a big difference in volume. He says this would be a better choice because they would deliver better clarity and detail.
I'm not a huge audio guy, so I don't understand the numbers, so I thought I'd seek out some opinions. Based on these two speakers, does anyone have a recommendation?
