    Views on running mids/highs at 2ohms

    Just wondering what everyone thinks about it. I know some infinity speakers have a 2ohm voice coil so I think it couldn't be to bad.

    2 ohm is not going to be as good for sound quality. Run your subs on 2 ohm. They don't care. Your highs and mids should be at least 4 ohm.

    Check any quality home sound systems. All 8 ohm. The higher the ohm the better the SQ

    It is true what he said, 2 ohm speakers will draw more power. I think it will be alright as long as you dont blare it. Are you running an amp to your mids and highs?

    Y are u wanting to run your mids at two ohm? But you can do it as long as your running a good quality amp ie. Kicker JL alpine ect. But you have to take into account the amp will put out twice as much power but it can also lead to a amp going into thermal protect

    I'm wanting to run a set of fosgate components and a set of coaxials for my front stage off a Cerwin Vega Exl 350.2. The amp puts out plenty of power for the two sets, they are also known to be zeff designed pretty much a cheap zapco amp. I was just wondering if I am going to sacrifice that much SQ by running them at 2ohms?

    Those Infinity's sound pretty good being they are 2 ohm voice coils. You should be fine with a decent amp.

    This is 100% incorrect when used as such a general statement, the resistance of the amplified channel has no bearing on perceived "sound quality". The main effect is sensitivity so what you need to keep in mind is wether your complete setup is going to be of 2 ohm or if you're going to mix and match impedences. This will make setting gains difficult.
