I would not go hooking up a 80 watt 6x9 to a cd player that is only pushign about 6 watts per channel.
You might get sound out of using 4 ohm speakers but think about what your doing. You running a speaker made to be run at a consistant 50-80 watts and running it at about 3 watts. Because when you go from 2 to 4 ohm your going to lose about 1/2 the power.
I would NOT go this route. Your total wrong about impendance and frequency, yea it changes, but a 2 ohm singal will never be a 4 ohm signal! The only reason your speakers could likely sound better are because you have cut power to the tweeters or because of the MDF adapter. Save you rmoney man, there are no cheap upgrades for the Stock HU.

You and jburson have a pretty big difference of opinion here. I don't know enough to say who is right, though I suspect you speak for the majority. I started this thread on the assumption you had to either get an amp and LOC to drive 4 ohm speakers or get 2 ohm replacements. Jburson had good luck with 4 ohm ones, for whatever reason. I doubt I'll take the chance.
