Default Quick question 2ohm or 4ohm

I just added an aquatic av radio to the bike and was wondering whether I should go with 2 ohm speakers or 4 ohm speakers
Thanks

It really starts with a ton more factors like amp to speaker continuity/cohesiveness and things like that. Not to mention the obvious like the specific frequency and sound ur looking for.

You will find a much larger selection if 4 ohm speakers on the market that are more suitable for sled audio.

Depends. If you are only adding speakers with no amp. You need 2 ohm speakers. If adding an amp it doesn't matter. That said. You must have an amp to get good sound. The two ohm speakers with no amp won't get it done.

Thank u slim for the help, much appreciated. I know there are better systems out there and folks have lots of opinions, and asking for audio advice can open wounds for some. The system was given to me and since I am a newbie to this audio world I was happy with the fact that all I had to do was plug it in and it worked but also sounds great. I just was curious if adding tweeters would give me just a notch or two more volume when on the highway. When I get a little more audio know how under my belt im sure I will revamp my system but for now I will just work with what I got. Thanks again :-)
