I am new to the forum, love my TL but not the speakers as much. I replaced the front stocks last year with JBL P660(mainly because it had good reviews for 2ohm spec) but now I want to replace them since the driver side is acting up.

Question, has anyone used a 4ohm speaker on the front doors with the stock amp? If so how do they sound (I know you will have half the power, but is it obvious)? Unfortunately I dont have the budget to replace the stock amp and the front speakers. Thanks for all your expert advice.

 

I replaced the stock ELS door speakers on my 09 TL with a 4 ohm low end JL components [with factory amp untouched] and they actually sound better since the ELS stocks were garbage. There's mid range now that I can actually hear. As far as the volume thing, in theory, it is suppose to be half the volume since it's 2 ohms vs 4, but I barely noticed it. The only thing you will notice is just how bad the other stock speakers are that you didn't replace yet compared to the new ones.

 

Thanks for your reply PeterKi. For the cheapest cost I am being Quoted to replace the Factory Amp I can replace all 4 (2 fronts & 2 rears).

 

Anyone know of a good installer in San Antonio-Austin Area please let me know. Thanks!
