ThatGuyWithAJetta Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 So i currently drive a 01 gmc jimmy and i think i may have blown a stock speaker, so i was thinking about replacing the front speakers with some prv 6.5 but they are 8 ohms and i believe the stock speakers are two ohm, i was curious if i would have any issues, i understand generally you can go with a higher ohm the rated on an amp but i was unsure being as this is a factory system. any help would be appreciated !999.5 Volkswagen Jetta 1 Planet Audio BIg Bang 15 Powerbass 1500,1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahmed Johnson Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 You just wont get as much power to the new speaker. Why didn't you get a 2 ohm replacement? A 4 ohm would've been better than that 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatGuyWithAJetta Posted May 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 I was thinking about going for the prv 6.5s cause i have heard they are great for the price, which i could get two of those for the price that one factory replacement goes for on ebay, but maybe ill take a look around and see if i cant find something decent priced in a 4 ohm not looking to spend alot just trying to get rid of this buzzing sound until i decide what i'm doing with my vehicles edit: nevermind saw the model numbers were the same so figured everything was the same but there is a 4 ohm version, here's the ones i was looking at http://www.parts-express.com/prv-audio-6mb200-4-6-1-2-midbass-woofer-4-ohm--294-2703 !999.5 Volkswagen Jetta 1 Planet Audio BIg Bang 15 Powerbass 1500,1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahmed Johnson Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 I'll be honest with you, I think after you hook one of those speakers up you will be upset at how low it's gonna sound. I understand being on a budget so to get the most for your money I'd start by trying to get the speakers that best match the previous speaker's ohms. These are almost 3 times what your looking for but the ohm ratings are the same http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_17735_JBL-GTO638.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatGuyWithAJetta Posted May 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 actually those would only be about 13 bucks more i believe that pe sells speakers individually so it'd be about 50 on the pair, plus i've always heard good things about jbl, so i'll keep those in mind !999.5 Volkswagen Jetta 1 Planet Audio BIg Bang 15 Powerbass 1500,1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
