OEM 450W Infinity Sound System questions
I have a 2004 Dak QC 4x4 with the 450W Infinity system in it. I know a few things about it:
It has 2 ohm Impedence
It has a blown left side speaker in the door(tweeter is fine up on the C pillar)
IF I replace the speakers in front with 3 ohm speakers, how much will it affect my volume?
My volume goes from 1 to 37 and isn't quite ear shattering loud. It's not like we listen to R&BS or HipHopcrap. We listen to punk like BAd Religion, Celtic Punk like FLogging Molly, Dropkick Murphys, Flatfoot 56, you know rock and roll.
I am looking at swapping out the front speakers to Tarantula 3 ohm from Soundstream since they are the only ones who make a 3 ohm speaker.
Knowing a little about electronics, I can say that going from 2 ohm to 3 ohm isn't as bad as going to a 4 ohm. That jump will cause more loss of volume.
Ya see, Panty 6 just wants to swap the speakers and spend the cash elsewhere. That's cool with me because I ride my Sporty everywhere, all the time, rain, snow or shine.
ANy of ya'all who know this stuff can chime in. I'm looking for the best advice on how to procedd with this thing

To be honest, when I had to make this decision, I just canned the Infinity crap and went straight after-market...
Picked up a Kenwood eXcelon head unit with iPod connector / display / all that jazz for $180 new form the stereo shop.
Picked up 4 Boston Acoustic 2-ways for $200...
I know that's like $400, but the difference is like going from a VCR to a Blu-Ray...

kenwood excelon is what i have in my truck the head unit and the sub and the door speakers are kenwood excelon and i love them so much. but personally i dont think infinity is all that bad, i am guessing they just put the lower end infinity stuff in the dakotas

Well I might be thinking wrong,but you can order a set of Kicker part #77KICK10 from a dodge Dealer for around $65.00 a pair.This is what I am going to go with.I did order a factory replacement speaker and it was $68.00.So I found a dealer on Ebay that is selling these speakers for 65.00 plus shipping.The listing is for the 2005 and up but from the pictures these are what is needed.
