Got a couple of questions. First off, I've got an '07 Legacy Sedan. Stock radio and auto climate control. I'd have replaced it by now but with that climate control it's impossible without a really expensive JDM kit. Anyhow, the stock front speakers were blown and I had a pair of Kickers from my old car. I hacked the stock speakers up for makeshift adapter rings and threw them in. They are certainly better than blown stock speakers but I wanted the proper adapter rings and something nicer in the back doors. Like the clownfucker I am I went on a drunken impulse shopping spree on crutchfield and ended up buying these for the front... https://www.crutchfield.com/p_136C2650X/JL-Audio-C2-650X.html?tp=78072&omnews=9319063 And these for the back... https://www.crutchfield.com/p_1085211I/Infinity-Kappa-52-11i.html?tp=97&omnews=9319063 I would have gotten the Kappas for the front too but Crutchfield says they wont fit. Anyhow, for my questions... Did I buy lovely speakers for my stock radio? Pretty sure the JL's will be fine but I didnt notice that the Kappas were 2 ohm. Is that gonna affect anything? I also bought a bunch of generic (but highly rated) Dynamat too. Figured if I'm gonna peel the doors apart anyway it couldnt hurt. My doors are thin and lovely so they can probably benefit from it. What sort of horrors am I in for when I put that stuff in? I plan to slap some in the trunk too. Not like my subwoofer is rattling anything apart though. It's just an old pioneer 12 in a ported box with a flea market amp.

I decided to relocate my amps and crossovers to the spare tire well. It definitely looks a lot nicer. I'm just hoping there's no cooling issues. The 4 channel doesn't really generate much heat. The monoblock can get cooking if I play bass heavy stuff for more than a few minutes. I admit it isn't perfect but she aint a show car.

It definitely does the job. This guy has a pretty good video on it... https://youtu.be/L_JXo-7p_t8?si=DosKGOeF_VbKt26b I can crank the volume and run every accessory including the big stupid light bar on the front and the voltage barely drops. Definitely no more dimming headlights since I got it. I'm also running a 180 amp alternator and an Optima yellow top with it so I couldn't say how dramatic of a result you'd see with a more stock charging system. I also got mine as a refurb/restock from ebay. Can't remember what I paid but it was a fraction of what they run new. It was in great shape too. Just a few minor scuffs and a pain in the rear end to remove QC decal on top. Also, it didn't come with nuts for the terminals so I had to get those. If you decide to get one I can send you few.
