Thread: Infinity Speakers-2 ohm

  1. #1

    Infinity Speakers-2 ohm

    Will I have any problems using Infinity speakers with my stock HU? The 4x6 plate in the rear says 9.5 ohm. The Infinity is a 2 ohm. Any problems?

    The Infinity Kappa plates are weak! Should be fine with a stock head unit and no amp. I just pulled out my 3rd set and will be moving on to something better.

    I'm putting in 6X8 Kappa 682.9 2 way in place of the 4x6. I had a previous post about the install. Now, The speakers will play fine for a while, then stop playing. They will not resume playing until I remove the passenger side rear speaker. Then, I can reinstall it and they will play again. I think I have a ground issue, but not sure. Any way to tell?

    Sounds like you are pulling to many ohms from your head unit.

    You said the infinitys are 2 ohm and your factory ones are 9.5?

    Id say thats your problem. But just to see, use the positive off your left speaker and the negative off you right speaker and then run a wire from your left neg to your right positive and see if it produces sound for a longer amount of time without shutting off. With this set up you will be running at a higher impedence.

    I'll tell you some more info...the speaker i'm talking about will produce sparks when the basket is touched to ground. Not always, but sometimes. I can remove the speaker, lay it on the seat, and it will play for as long as I want.
