Lookin' good Derick! You're gonna turn into a walking zombie with all those late nights! I hear you about the family, especially with a youngster demanding your attention. So...when are you to to "mod" the play structure? Stereo? Fridge? Ceiling fan? Lounge?

OHHHHH... crap.... I totally read your entire post... and somehow glazed over when you said STOCK DECK.... if you plan on running the speakers off the deck's internal amplifier, then I would stay away from the 2ohm speakers. I thought you were going to power the speakers off an external amplifier (i'm blond, don't crucify me).

the 2ohm load on a deck will cause it to run very hot, and possibly blow fuses. There are a lot of electronics that give off heat in a deck even before you consider the amplifier. I have a deck that doesn't even have an internal amp, it only has a 2amp fuse, and the front of it gets warm.... now compare that to a deck which will have around a 10amp fuse.

Usually when people talk about running a 2ohm speaker, it's because they want to get every last watt of power out of their external amplifiers.
