skittlesRgood Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 No Kappas are not 2 ohm. Check your speakers with a DMM and get back to me. he just said he checked OP, they will be fine off that much power. 1st off you probably dont have the volume up full tilt all the time so its not seeing that much power very often. i ran 150w to a 50w comp set. worked perfectly fine for a year until i upgraded. they still sound great.

smgreen20 Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 Headroom is in relation to the amp/s, not the speakers. The speakers will reach their mechanical limits at which point, we all know will start to do harm to them. Due to the speakers limitations, it might "cap" the headroom you could get. I don't know if I said that in a way in which one could understand.

King Zick Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 Kappas are decent speakers. They are closer to 3 ohm then 2. Hooked up the DMM to my old Kappas and got a 3 ohm reading. Quote The King. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Zick Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 Head room on an amp is a good good thing to have. Less strain on the amp and less chance of clipping. There is only one thing that destroys speakers and amps. HEAT! Keep you shit cool. Quote The King. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Zick Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 ever measure the resistance of the DMM leads? Sure have bro. Funny that Infinity claims the Kappas are 2 ohm but on the box it also says they are 4 ohm. Typo maybe? I think not. If the Kappas were true 2 ohm speakers, the majority of head units wouldn't be able to power them. Every head unit, even my old ass Pioneer from 1912 powered my old Infinity Kappas. Since then I have moved onto bigger and better speakers, but for the money they are nice. They are on the harsh side so using your EQ is a must. Quote The King.

Since then I have moved onto bigger and better speakers, but for the money they are nice. They are on the harsh side so using your EQ is a must. stop talking. the reason they make 2 ohm speakers is because the resistance of the small gauge wire and the long runs of them going to the headunit increase the resistance closer to 4 ohms. HERP DERP MAKES SENSE DOESNT IT. my infinity speakers were not even a tad harsh so i dont know what the hell you are talking about queen sick.
