Planning on adding a set of 6.5" speakers with an Arc Mini 125.2 amp. Which is the best choice for the speakers, 2 ohm or 4 ohm. Any suggested brands and models?

I've searched the forum and I don't see any ideas on this issue.

 

what worked for me and i love it. its very loud and clean.

i run a mini also at 2 ohm. the speakers are 4 ohm each X 4 showing the amp 2 ohm

i have arc 6.5 components in the faring with dynmat and arc 5.25 coax with a 300hz bass blocker installed just before the speaker. the lowers with speaker adapters are from PEZ at hogtunes, and part fill the lowers with ploy fill.

it rocks. i have V&H basic slip ons and on the freeway at 80mph the audio will drowned out all other noise and have volume to go.

firecap501 hooked me up

 

I was going to add that you shoot a pm to firecap, he has quite a bit of info when it comes to audio stuff. Especially the ARC amp

 

I think the conventional wisdom is go with 4Ω speakers if you're installing an amp. But Firecap will hook you up with specific info. I went with 6.5" speakers and no amp, and used the Polk MM651 2.7Ω speakers. Nice upgrade, but I may add the Arc amp later on for more oomph.

 

...ditto to what both ranman and marvincbr said above. ARC 6.5's with sound deadener in the upper, ARC 5.25's with Polyfill in the lower with Pez's conversion kit, ARC Mini amp running them all...call FireCap501 for your stuff today
I've used three different vendors here for audio gear and found that the best pricing and shipping times have been from FireCap501.

edited: Sorry, forgot to add model#'s:
ARC KS6026 - 6.5" speakers
ARC FD5025 - 5.25" speakers (discontinued)
ARC KS125.2 Mini - Amp

 

I cant add much more to this thread other than just call firecap501 at 1-405-343-5050. He is the best! Just give him a call and you will see for yourself what we are all talking about!

 

Electricly speaking...without getting into deep calculations and vector diagrams......Match the speaker resistance (ohms) as close as possible to the rated output resistance (Ohms) of the device driving the speakers. This will give you best power useage.

 

The Arc Mini's are rated at 70W@4 ohm and 125W@2ohm. Not sure where the clipping will start at. I am looking for the best match.

 

Forgot to add, I'm not going to run 4 speakers in the front, so running two 4 ohm in series which equals 2 ohm is not an option for me

 

OOPS, two 4 ohm in parallel equal 2 ohm, two 4ohm in series equals 8
