it means that the impedance of the voice coil is compatible with amplifiers designed for 2-4 ohm impedance loads ,,,,, this helps the consumer cut thru the confusion ,,,,,

actual impedance of the J&M 6X9" ROKKER performance series speakers is about 3.8 ohms ,,,

as for Bates actually hearing the ROKKER 6X9s? ,,, where and when did he hear them? ,,,,,,,

at the J&M audio trailer at one of the shows?

I will have to agree with Bates the JM products are good paper weights along with good targets for sighting in weapons.

Before it is asked I have heard the over priced inferior equipment installed on numerous different bikes in different configurations.
There is better sounding equipment with better customer service and warranty available for less money.

For the amp you have listed you do not need to use 2 ohm speakers as the amp is 2 ohm and 4 ohm compatible in stereo.

I have heard the prv500 6x9s and they scream and have decent bass. Very good speaker for little coin. The diamonds are kick *** along with gz 7x10.

Jm reminds me of boom2

Aren't all amplifier designed to handle 2 and 4 ohm impedance loads? I have yet to see one that doesn't. If you want to simplify it, call it a 4 ohm speaker with "x" amount of rms capabilities that from x to x frequency. Much easier to understand in my opinion.

I wonder what the rest of your setup consist of and why you need to pair the 6x9's? That amp will give 200w per channel at 4 ohm and there are some damn good sounding 6x9's with that power.

there are many good 6X9s out there ,,, but the latest J&M ROKKER 6X9 is toward the top of the pile ,,, MUCH BETTER than Harley BOOM II ,,,,,,,,

I have also removed Fosgate and HogTunes 6X9" speakers at the shows, replaced them with the J&M ROKKER 6X9" speakers and night/day difference ,,,,

the comparisions are real and I hear these at most every rally ,,,,

Comparing your 6x9 to a boom II 5x7 isnt saying much for your product being at the top of the PILE.
They may be at the top of the pile in the garbage can on top of the boom II but that will be the only top of the pile they will be on.

And the J&M ROKKER 5X7" speaker is THE BEST performing 5X7" speaker available, also outperforming many 6x9" speakers ,,,,,
