Hi,

here my setup:

Dash:
4 Ohms
3 x JL Audio C2-350x (Metra 71-039C Speaker Wiring Adapters)

Rear doors:
4 Ohms
2 x Kicker 41KSC694 (6x9) (Metra 72-6514 Speaker Wiring Harness)

Front doors:
4 Ohms
2 x Kicker 40CS654 (6.5; 6x9 would also fit!) (Metra 72-6514 Speaker Wiring Harness)

Rear roof:
4 Ohms
2 x Kicker KST25 (Metra 71-039C Speaker Wiring Adapters)
2 x Universal Back Strap

Subwoofer:
1 x Pioneer TSSW2002D2 Slim 8-Inch Sub 600W Max/150W RMS
(Metra 72-6514 Speaker Wiring Harness)
2 Ohms


As the speakers are 4 Ohms, I have to increase the volume to get the same volume output. Not really a problem for me as I don't use the maximum volume anyway.


Roof is very easy. Pull up the plastic cover. Unscrew the 2 screws. Mount the Universal Back Strap on the replacement tweeter to fit the factory holes. Screw the 2 screws and reinstall the plastic cover. You have to use a universal Back Strap as the factory tweeter of the roof are a Mopar specific size so that you have to buy a 1" or 3/4" tweeter.

The whole setup was not cheap but worth it if you like to have a nice sound as the Alpine is really not very top. Installation process if you have the Metra etc.. is very easy. It just takes time if you want to do it very properly. Just the left screw of the middle speaker is not very easy to unscrew/ screw.

So switching to 4 ohms will affect the volume but just make everything sound clearer? It's already not loud enough, don't really wanna drop the volume anymore.

You should keep 2 ohms speakers....or better get 4 ohms and an amp etc....
