Are these 2 ohm or 4 ohm? because on amazon and sonicelectronix it says 2 ohm but on crutchfield it says 4 ohm

All the info I read put them at 2ohm. I am running them at 2ohm from my amp.

They are 2 ohms, crutchfield has a typo on Details tab. If you download the owners manual pdf on the same page, you will see that entire line is 2 omhs. These speakers are a few years and one Gen old. The 11i tweeters sound a little better, but the 9i sound very good and just as loud. And make the most out of every watt sent from the head unit

I installed these and the instructions that came inside the box and I am reading now say 2 ohm.

Are these home audio or auto speakers? ... Yes... These are good for both home and car. At 8 ohms a car stereo amp might not play them as loud as a 4 ohm speaker but it will not hurt the amp. If you're concerned about getting 4 ohms at your amp just wire a pair of 8 ohm speakers in parallel. Usually the only difference in home and car speakers is the label, although better car speakers may be built with materials that hold up to temperature extremes better than most home speakers. I personally use home and car speakers interchangeably because any good amp will have no trouble running a 4 ohm load.

I belive they are a 8 ohm. But I wouldn't buy them the poorly constructed. You have an issue where the bracket and speaker are bolted by the knob. The internal nut that is glued on the in side breaks loose when you tighten the knob and the only way to fix it is to pull the screen offand reatreattached the screw with stronger glue. My buddy bought a pair also a week later and had same issue.

4 ohm according to Pioneer's site: http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Car/Speakers/G-Series/TS-G1644R

Yes these are 2 ohm . They require a good break in before you dump the power to them but overall. You will be happy with these speakers.

Rated 4 ohms -But fine for both! (Has crossover , and tweeters can be easily removed from housing to permanently install in speaker projects) Great super tweeter! Cheers ringo!

I would get two 4 ohm subs. I have two 4 ohm single voice coils Kenwood subs running the amp in series and it sounds great. Getting two 2 ohm subs might bring the impedance too low. Hope this helps.

Hi,We have both. The one you are looking at is 8 ohm. Thanks for asking and have a nice day.

Are these 4 ohm speakers going to be used on the existing head unit? If so..it is not advisable to use 4 ohm speakers unless they are amplified.

On a 4 OHM output amp. You use one 4 Ohm speaker or two 8 OHM speakers. Example: One 8 OHM speaker + One 8 OHM speaker = 4 OHMs.

I measured them when I got them and they were something like 2.6. These are designed that way to accommodate OEM wiring, which I smaller gauge than aftermarket, and low powered radios. Installed the resistance is over 3, but that is less than using 4 ohm speakers. Actually, amps get more control, but require more power with higher resistance. That is way home stuff is 8 ohm. In a car power is limited by the alternator output. For matching, look at the RMS Watt rating of the amps and speakers and try to match 75% to 150% of the amp rating. Speaker sensitivity will also be a clue. A 3 dB difference means twice or half as loud. So a proper Watt RMS and as high a sensitivity possible is a good general rule. These are rated at 93 dB so they are better than most. Sensitivity is the measure of sound at 1 Watt power from 1 meter away.

They are 8 ohm. Also, if you need additional specs, just scroll down to the product description and it gives you everything you might need to know. We have been very happy with these......really good sound.

My understanding is 2 OHM is better. I would however recommend you install the amp to get the proper sound that the speakers are capable of. I have not done this but I need to.

Is the resistance 8 ohms total, or 8 ohms per channel? If it's 8 ohms total, you would want to hook up, for example, two 16 ohm speakers, not two 8 ohm speakers. Basically, if you have two speakers with 8 ohms of resistance each (for example), that would result in 4 ohms total. I don't know if that helps at all...

IMO if you putting these on a aftermarket amp get some 4 ohm speakers to be more amp friendly. These are 2 ohm and probably best for factory replacements. As far as what amp to get i am guessing you are going low budget. MBQuart and hifonics make cheap good 4ch amps. Stay away from the wally world stuff and don't forget high level inputs or a line out converter. PAC SNI-35 great budget LOC

They are rated at 2.7 ohms but Polk states they are compatible with factory and aftermarket 4 ohm systems as well. Google returns a lot of information.

It is for sure 4 ohms. Here's an added source to help: http://www.polkaudio.com/products/db691 (You will definitely need a 4 ohm stereo and/or an amplifier to power them adequately. I have both an amp and 4 ohm stereo: they sound great.)
