Hey Audiofetish,

Nominally the front speakers are 4-ohm. But we selected them from the literally hundreds of our current and past full range 6.5" speaker designs to select drivers that would perform well in the H2 when driven by the Bose factory amplifier. The configuration, sonic signature and efficiency of these speakers result in a night and day difference for front stage sound in the H2. No, you don't have to crank up the volume level more to get the same sound, they blend very well with, and compliment the rest of the stock system and our powered subwoofer. Typically you would run into problems when swapping an aftermarket speaker into a OEM application, most OEM full range speakers are at or below 1-ohm. We benefit from in-house speaker design and production. Instead of figuring out how to cram that square peg into the round hole... We just make a round peg.

Thanks
Joe
