[QUOTE="BCotrell, post: 8686187, member: 666314"] you don’t want want to do that. A higher impedance increases the draw from the amp and could damage your factory amp. Specifically going 8 ohm factory all the way to 2 ohm for some speaker why do you want to replace the drivers? Are they blown?Your factory drivers may be rated at 25watts max but optimized for a much lower continuous output (say 12watts). That said the actual rms power of your amp will not bring any aftermarket drivers to proper life. FYI, in many cases the presence of a factory amp simply allowed the manufacturer to separate the power supply from all the gadgetry cooked into factory headunits (even 2014) and save money from having a monster all in one unit while still be able to promote a bagillion speakers sound system I assume each of those speakers each feed directly into the factory amp like Which in that case you’ll want to match the factory speaker impedance. lots of good 6.5 4Ohm options and an easy transition from 5x7 You should incorporate a set of these into your upgrade [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.soundmekanix.com/return-a-product/mdf-rings/mdf-5-x7-to-6-5-rings/[/URL] parts express can defintely be your friend on raw drivers should speaker replacement be your final action but if your state your specific vehicle and goals then it’s easier to help up front than helping you chase mediocrity and money poorly spent afterwards [/QUOTE]
