4 Ohm Speakers vs. 2 Ohm
Do you give up anything in swapping out the 2 Ohm BOSE 6x9'* with 4 Ohm aftermarkets? Does the Ohm difference really matter?

Where did you find 2 Ohm Bose speakers at. The ones in my Bonneville are 10 Ohm. But yes changing the ohm of the speaker will change it.

most likely the stock speakers are 10 or 8 ohm.
if you switch to a set of 4 ohm speakers ....they SHOULD sound better off the same deck. a stock deck should run 4 ohms no problem. i don't think they would run 2 ohms for too long.....it'd generate too much heat for sure.

The front speakers in a premium bonneville system runs at 2 ohms. Ive been using an aftermarket clarion deck for a year no problem. But i will change the speakers out soon.
