Michael Ingle Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 I've just ordered some Infinity Kappa 6x9's, but afterwards I read about the impedance. Apparently you shouldn't run them through the head unit and they need a separate amplifier, but Ive only got a two channel amp which is built into my sub box. Basically, aside from the sound quality suffering, what would happen if I ran the 2ohm speakers from my 4ohm headunit? Am I going to blow the 6x9s / headunit? Also, if there is no alternative than to have these amped, does anyone know if its possible to remove the 2 channel amp from a Fli sub/amp box and just use that temporarily?Cheers, Mike.

I blew my brothers rig up, just because there was a power flux, and the speakers weren't made for the head unit. Has your head unit got a compression unit or an anti power surge unit built in ?

Michael Ingle Posted January 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 Its a Sony Xplode so I doubt it. I might just leave them in the box until I can afford a 4 channel amp and a new sub. Dont really want to take the risk and end up blowing the speakers.Cheers, Mike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
