OrionStang Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 My brother blew the factory 6x8's in his 2009 Ford Fusion and i'll be replacing them with Kicker 11DS68's. Factroy speakers are 8 ohm, the Kickers are 4 ohm. Will the lower ohm load be bad on the factory deck? There is no factory amp.

blownengine Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 I can only imagine that the factory deck wouldnt like that very much.

IH8PunkRok Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 ive done this with a few different things (HUs, receivers, home amps, etc) never had a problem. the only way i cna see an issue is if he likes to turn it way up for long periods of time Quote -Matt2005 Dodge Magnum RTJVC KD-AVX1 2 PPI S580.2 Obsidian Audio ST1 Horn Tweeters PRV 8MB450s Audio Legion 3500.1D 2 RE MT 18s 360 ah LiFePO4 BatterySHCA 2/0 155.2 @ 29 hzKicker CVR 15's buildDD 3512e buildMini T-Line Build(6) 8s BuildNightshade 15s Wall BuildMagnum AB XFL 12s BuildNewest Magnum Build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nine8SST Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 I did it in my old Ranger.....with Polk 6x8's on the factory 8 ohm HU and there were no issues. They just didnt sound that good off deck power.
