Are these actually 2 ohm speakers? Looking to connect them to an amp for better sound control and I NEED 2 ohm speakers to match wattage perfectly.

I measured them when I got them and they were something like 2.6. These are designed that way to accommodate OEM wiring, which I smaller gauge than aftermarket, and low powered radios. Installed the resistance is over 3, but that is less than using 4 ohm speakers. Actually, amps get more control, but require more power with higher resistance. That is way home stuff is 8 ohm. In a car power is limited by the alternator output. For matching, look at the RMS Watt rating of the amps and speakers and try to match 75% to 150% of the amp rating. Speaker sensitivity will also be a clue. A 3 dB difference means twice or half as loud. So a proper Watt RMS and as high a sensitivity possible is a good general rule. These are rated at 93 dB so they are better than most. Sensitivity is the measure of sound at 1 Watt power from 1 meter away.

Yes they come as described, everything matches up and they seem great to me

Yes these are 2 ohm . They require a good break in before you dump the power to them but overall. You will be happy with these speakers.

They are 4 ohm speakers. Your receiver should have a L/R & F/R. Their for allowing you to hook up 2 sets.

That's a quite complex question you should look it up online to know more. Simply said you can play a sub at 1,2 or 4 ohm. It's takes a weaker amp to power at 1 but it also puts more stress on the speakers. At 4 ohm it would be hard to fully supple the power. Your best bet is to look up wiring for 2 ohm or 4 ohm subs and match it with what is in your car or when your planning to have. You can't simply say one is better than other. Amplifiers have diffrent ohm they supply to depending on the amp type and setup.

How do i know what ohm this receiver is? I'm sure i read over it several times and am just missing it.Does anyone reading this have a good recomendation for a power amp for my lsi9 speakers which are the 4ohms?

correct, you can connect up to 4 ohms, but you have to be aware with your .saludos speakers rms.

I tried an old set of (I believe) 8 ohm speakers on the front right, left, and center channels and notice a marked improvement in sound quality. Do you have more information on this? Will the amp be damaged? Any idea where I can get better quality 3 ohm speakers?

You haven't provided all the necessary information to receive a worthy answer. We understand you want to power a pair of dual 15" speakers at 8 Ohms, but that's all we know. Complete your research by finding out the power handling ability and capacity of the speakers. Then, look again at the outputs that the amp is capable of. Your answer is then looking right back at you. I assure you this: Relying upon a bunch of people you do not know for answers to questions like this is going to come at a cost. You have no idea that they know anything about which they speak.

If your amp can handle a 4 ohm load that means you can hook two 8 ohm speakers up per side. That's 8+8 =4 ohm. You Re fine as long as the total resistance of your speakers are 8 ohm speakers.IF you run two 4 ohm speakers per side you get 2 ohms etc.You could also wire the two 8 ohm speakers I a series and get 16 ohms. To learn more about properwiring and Ibm's law you can find it at 12volt.com

All the info I read put them at 2ohm. I am running them at 2ohm from my amp.

These are 4 ohm speakers and they can take a lot of power, 120W continuous, 200W peak output. if your amp isn't rated for 4 ohm speakers you could burn it up trying to drive these. Older amps were typically rated for 8 ohm speakers.

They're 8 ohm impedance speakers. Will work with any receiver or amplifier expecting to see an 8 ohm load.Many 12v amps are looking for a 4 ohm load, which I think is what you're referring to. Some are switchable. You can wire these in parallel to get 4 ohms, but I doubt that would be practical for you, since you'd need to install two pair in order to do it properly. If your amp/receiver is expecting a 4 ohm load don't get these.

Thang:Again thank you for your helpful response. I will now shop for a sub, and hopefully complete my system soon. It is a more difficult task than I first thought.I have the Bose single cube speakers that I plan to use, but I am unable to determine the ohm rating of these speakers. Can you assist me with this. I have been studying the 806 manual and the speaker ohm rating is one entry that needs to be input by me. Hopefully I will be able to get things up and running soon. Thanks.Charles

They will work fine. They are 2 ohm but it's more for power purpose. They will sound loud with lower wattage. Don't expect bass. They have crisp highs and they are a good rear fill speaker.

Yes its right on the rms level them speakers are 600 rms and u got 2 of them always keep the rms on speakers lil bit lower are you'll burn the coils up..

No problem. If memory serves, these speakers will handle that power easily. I am running a Crown 1500 watt amp into them and daisy chaining them so effectively 4 ohms. These are great speakers, light weight and good sound.

if the speakers are 600 watts @ 2 ohms each yes, if they are @ 4 ohms or @ 8 ohms no, I used with 2 speakers 350 watts RMS @ 8 ohms works fine, but the amplifier has humming noise I read other reviews with same issue, hope this help.

Im not sure about if they are better than the speakers you asked about. I dont have any experience with them. As far as a specific reciever again I wouldnt know. I originally had them hooked up to a reciever rated at 125 watts per channel. It was only for 8ohm speakers and I was a little disappointed. I bought a reciever rated at 145 watts at 6 ohms and they really came alive. I do recommend a subwoofer.
