QUOTE(soven @ Aug 11, 2007 - 6:49 PM) [snapback]587272[/snapback] Why do you say that it is 2ohm? both my celica come with 4 ohm speakers and 2ohm speakers is not common at all. I know 2-ohm is not common...that's why it's next to impossible to find a 2-ohm replacement. From looking ath the drivers int the doors, the 4" midrange and the tweeters are both marked 4-ohm, while the stock 8" drivers are marked 2-ohm on the back. Putting a 4-ohm speaker where there had been a 2-ohm will effectively reduce the power of the amp, so I was concerned about them sounding too quiet relative to the rest of the system. |

QUOTE(rad1an7 @ Feb 9, 2007 - 7:58 AM) [snapback]525361[/snapback] I bought the midbass Kicker 8" for my door panels. Whoever said it needs modification is correct, if you dont then your door wont be able to go on correctly. So what I did is just cut the bracket to where it will flex around the kickers, wrapped it around the kicker put a screw in it and sealed the entire thing with sealant. Sounds nice and works. Are you referring to the Kicker SSMB8 speakers? I was considering a pair to replace the stock speakers which have crumbled surrounds. At $99 online they sound like a pretty good deal. With the stock speakers costing $160 / each, it doesn't make sense to go stock. However, I'm concerned that the Kickers are 4 ohm rather than the stock 2 ohm. Do they sound all right, or do they sound excessively quiet, given they have double the resistance of the stock speakers? Either way, I'm sure they sound better than speakers with completely disintegrated surrounds!! Also, does anyone have recommendations for replacements for the 6.5" speakers in the rear? Thanks, Matt |

Sorry don't have part numbers for the fixings and covers for these. Have you ordered any of the speaker replacement parts? Are they expensive? My 8" speakers' surrounds have completely decomposed and need to be replaced, and it's not too easy to track down 2-ohm 8" speakers! Thanks! Matt |
