wats the difference between 4 Ohm and 2 Ohm speakers
is there a huge difference?
i was lead to believe i had the premium sound package, i think i was lied to..
do the speakers make any difference to the sound package or is it in the amps?
cheers

the difference is 2ohms....
seriously, there is no sound or quality differnce. its just a matter of how its used and installed. these days, most good amps can handle very low impedances. 4ohms still is the norm though

not much difference but see if your amp will not fry your speakers.
less ohm = more current = potentially fried speakers.
ohm difference only will not determine if you have a premium sound system or not.

ohms refer to the electrical resistance to the flow of current through the speakers. Bose amplifiers
need to see 2ohms. Any more and the amp will not have the power to properly drive the speakers and any less and the amp will fry itself.
