[QUOTE="HardofWhoring, post: 8845055, member: 674149"] I would guess 90+% of non subwoofer speakers are 4 ohm. If you find something that is 3 ohm, or 2.7 ohm, my guess is its designed to be a direct replacement for a factory speaker when keeping a factory amplifier, (those are usually a funky ohm rating like that). I see those speakers are 110w RMS @ 3ohm. You can get 3 ohm speakers, and any amp that is rated at 2 ohm will also play that, but those two 5ch amps you listed won't do it. You would need to either find a different amp or different speakers. I'm suggesting you get different options on both. You can do 3 ohm, but if you're newer, its just going to be easier for you to match up RMS @ 4 ohms for speakers and amp. I always suggest this sale page. If crutchfield is #1, this would be in my top 5, and probably my #2.
