what happens if your headunit says only to hookup 4ohm speakers but you hook up 2ohm speakers? wouldnt it ruin the speakers? r i heard it will sound louder then the other speaker that is 4ohm considering its 2ohm.lol because i just realized my fronts is 4ohm and my back is 2ohm...i kno its sounds like a noobish question, but just wondering. |

if your head unit cannot handle a 2ohm load then you will fry the internal amp of the head unit. putting a 2ohm speaker instead of a 4 ohm makes the head unit try and put out more power. this issue varies from head unit to head unit. |

Running 2 ohm speakers on a HU will eventually burn out the internal amp
Lose the rears anyways, they only subtract from the overall sound. |
