Component set impedance
Hey guys.....i have JL VR 650-CSi components hooked up to a fosgate 301s amplifier in my tC.....my question is: Is there any way to drop the impedance of both the left and right channels to 2 ohm?? Possibly via some type of small capacitors or resistors or something plugged in-line from the amp to the crossovers??? any help would be appreciated....

4 ohm stereo it's only 75watts per channel...which is plenty for the VR's.....i was just wanting to experiment mainly......
I know there are some people who build their own x-overs and stuff to set exact impedance and slopes....but I'm not farmiliar with any of these technicalities.....

Can the speakers go down to 2 ohm? Is the amp 2 ohm stable? If the speakers can't go down to 2 ohm or the amp isn't stable at 2 ohm I wouldn't reccomend doing this ... The only way really to safely break a speaker down to 2 ohm is by have dual voice coils ... If you only have 1 4 ohm Voice Coil you won't be able to go down to 2 ohm ... Most of you components are 4 ohm ... Why do you want to go down to 2 ohm?

well......the only solution I've figured out wouuld be to hook a 4 ohm resistor inline with the components......i was mainly asking the question out of curiosity......doubt I'll actually try it......

Buy better equipment.

Adding a 4 ohm resistor in parallel would drop the load at the amp to 2 ohms but your components would only get half the power that the amp puts out since the resistor would take half. That means if your amp doubles power output into 2 ohms you would net nothing but a dirtier signal. You'd be wasting your time essentially.
If you want 2 ohm speakers just buy some, Image Dynamics makes their chameleons in a 2 ohm model.
