Rear door speaker, 2 ohm replace with 4 ohm

Featured Replies

Hello everyone

I have a O2, vrs, estate

I want to change the rear loud speakers. They are with 2 ohm, and 1z0 035 411L oem numbers. 

The new ones are with 4 ohm and 1z0 035 411C oem numbers.

My question is may I replace them? If I did it, is it harmfull to the sound system, hopefully won't catch in fire the amplifier.

Thanks for answers, and sorry for my english

Yeah I see that. But I dont really care, that difference, it is minimal.

The most important is to do not affect the amplifier or the navi.

Thank you

2 to 4 ohm will put less pressure on the amp, it will pull less current, it won't hurt the amp. 

 

But it "may" change the balance of sound slightly, based on the fact that presumably the system was matched with 2 ohm mid bass units and they will likely have different other characteristics as well.

 

Sensitivity, measured in Db (1w/1M) would be useful to understand how compatible the replacement driver is, but probably not stamped on the back of the speaker.  No harm in trying the replacement. Although it would be not recommended the other way round i.e. 4 ohms (original) to 2 ohms Replacement) due to the additional current draw on the amp.
