is it better to have the 2 OHM or the 5.75 OHM speakers? We have a 2012 Ultra Classic.

I believe all the new harmon kardon radios have two ohm speakers I would keep the impedance the same I think they started in 2008or 2009 till present

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.

The new Harleys with four speakers have a 2 ohm system and amplifier. You won't get good results if you install a higher ohmage.

you can use 8 ohm speakers,however if you use main and remote speakers they must both be 8 ohms or higher. if u use 2 sets of 8 ohm speakers the amplifier sees it as 4 ohms {speakers are in paralel} anything under 4 ohms will shut the amp down. even playing amp loud it may go in to shutdown when it sees 4 ohms.

It's up to you. I don't have these anymore because I got a new car but still love infinity using the 6 1/2 with the tweeters. I use all the speakers both ways with and without the amp. They will hit hard either way you go.

The 2 ohm will take more power thus being able to run a higher watt amp but you are sacrificing sound quality for volume, the 4 ohm is no slouch, it has to use a slightly lower wattage amp but has much higher sound quality, your bass will be sharper and cleaner with the 4 ohm.

the four ohm speaker will work just fine in this application, but it will not be as loud as a two ohm speaker. the ohm in this sense is a unit of resistance, and the higher the number the more resistance you have. that being said, finding a two ohm speaker may be a bit of a chore. good luck!!

If you have a 70w at 4 ohms minimum, this puts out 500 at 4 ohms. It will have no problem driving your current speakers.

I have mine connected to 4 ohm Polk speakers and it works perfectly. You should not have any problems with 6 ohm speakers. The Motiva is a lot of power for a reasonable price.

If your amp can handle a 4 ohm load that means you can hook two 8 ohm speakers up per side. That's 8+8 =4 ohm. You Re fine as long as the total resistance of your speakers are 8 ohm speakers.IF you run two 4 ohm speakers per side you get 2 ohms etc.You could also wire the two 8 ohm speakers I a series and get 16 ohms.

i have 2 of these and use in a tri-amp situation, mid and upper end only (took out tweeters and mids once JBL too) i would as i did go up a notch and go with the 4000 model for low end and yes 2 to 8 ohms possible

I have mine on 1ohm and doesn't sound bad at all, my trunk still sound like a gorilla trying to escape. Great speakers but if played to loud for to long they will burn out.

Should be 8 ohms...not going to see lower then that unless you get the really high end audio stuff. Typically...even still 8 ohms is about the standard.

What's up Brandon.... I'd go with 12-16 AWG. The larger the speaker is the larger AWG.

It depends on the sound you want your sub to deliver...2 ohm will be a deeper low bass and 4 ohm willl be more overall bass...I prefer a 2 ohm sub...I switch from 4 to 2.

For more bass, you definitely want less resistance with the 2 ohms. Just make sure the rms is correct for it. You want to get all you can out of the amp.

from my understanding your speakers ohms should not be lower than your receiver/amp. This will have your receiver working overtime to power those speakers which may casue overheating. For a 8 ohm receiver the lowest I would go would be 6 ohms; I think 4 ohms is pushing it.

I have been using these in my home theatre system for about two years and they are 8 ohm. I really like these....they open up after you use them for awhile...awesome speakers for rear surround channels...

4 ohms is the modern standard, and these speakers match that standard. Antique car radios (tube electronics, made before c.1965) may require 3.2 ohms. 2 ohms is for specialty applications (e.g., Bose and some "enclosure-less" subs).
