[Shotimes] Another blasted stereo question

[Bill Murray]

Yes, if you have the JBL system, I'm pretty sure the speakers are 6 ohm
and the Rockford is putting out 4 ohm.  My comment about the "ghetto
boom" is that you said you didn't want anything obnoxiously loud, but
cabin speakers aren't going to really provide that as much as the subs
that you already have would.  I posted a few weeks ago about my theory
on replacing different parts of the JBL system, and what to replace at
the same times as others.  One of them is replacing amps and speakers at
the same time.  I can send you privately the post if I still have it if
you're interested.

Can you comment a little more in this?  What impedance are the factory
speakers (6 ohms?) and what does the Rockford expect (4 ohms)?  I'm
trying
to figure out why the speakers sound muffled (major problem).  I'm still
digging through the wiring to figure out how this is all connected up.

About the frequency response, that's not really a problem at all.  The
low
frequency stuff will be handled by sub(s) powered by the 225.
