How did you run the audio signals to the amps / new speakers? Did you use a high to low (speaker to rca) converter coming out of the factory amp to the aftermarket amp? How does it sound? Which converters did you go with? You only have the fact amp powering the rear door speakers, right? Just curious, but why didn't you go with 6-1/2s in the front doors? Personal pref?

So don't the speakers sound a lot quieter going from 2 ohm to 4 ohm speaks?

Hmmm. Sounds interesting.... May have to try it.
