looking for: 6.5 inch with 2ohms speakers
i have been looking around for some door spears that are 6.5 inches and 2ohms.
i only come up with JBL. is there anything else out there? not looking for anything over 100 rms watts. less is better for my setup. im also leaning towards non seperates like 2 or 3 way, but im still open to any suggestions while doing more research. so what do you guys suggest? brand and models and why? must be $100 or less. no components. coaxial speakers only. it can be two way but mounted on the speaker.

CDT Audio has a fair share of component and coaxial speakers in 2 Ohm

But why 2 Ohm? |

Your other options are primarily Infinity.

What are your reasons for wanting 2 ohm speakers?

Yup Infinity makes good 2ohms speakers. They also make a very nice pair of 3 ways. Look up Infinity 63.9i. I'm putting it in my car soon. Just trying to figure out what kind of spacer I need for it.

To the OP- if you are trying to cut costs, the 62.9i or 62.11i are just about as good as the 63.9i and typically are cheaper. In my experience, a "3-way" speaker has been a marketing tactic more than having a true benefit in performance. |

Aren't the POLK MM speakers 2 ohms too?

2 Ohm gives better protection with smaller gauge wires (aka factory wiring).

The only rational reason to run 2ohm door speakers is to get more power out of the amp that is driving them. This does come at the expense of sound quality though as most amps will produce increased distortion at lower impedance levels. |

Hmm I'm pretty sure you're incorrect in a way. What you're talking about is wire size and how much current they can carry. The coil in most speakers are 4ohm which in term means more resistance aka requires more power to power the speakers. This is why the wires will heat up if they're not the right size because of the ammount of current the speakers are trying to get. Using 2ohm speakers requires LESS power to run the speakers so the wires won't have to carry as much current in them. But you're right about it'll make the amp heat up faster. So make sure to use a good after market amp instead of the stock HU. This is where I recommened Infinity because they are dual coil so you can use either 2 or 4ohm safely. |

Well thing is with regular 4 Ohm speakers some wires will make the coil in them heat up too fast. The 2 ohm will be able to take smaller wires without it heating up as much.

I think the stock wires in the wrx is 16-18. Which is fine unless you're pumping 1000watts around them. I forgot to mention the reason it heats up because a lot of wattage going through the small wires. I'm planning to re-use the factory wires if I upgrade my stereo system. Although I'm not going anywhere past 500watt-600watt so it shouldn't be much of a problem.

If I do it I'm using OEM HU. I was going to have a nice set up with JBL MS-A1004 amp, Kappa Perfect 6.1 front, and Kappa 63.9i rear. But I had to sell my stuff to get winter set up lol. I'll probably get them again after I get my tax refund since I can get a great discount on them. Might not go with the Perfect 6.1 this time as they have very mixed reviews about the harsh high.
