2-way speaker in rear door with non-dsp amp?

Bad idea or what? What effect will the amp's xover have on the speaker? I am guessing the driver and mid-range would continue to get power but the tweeter would be lost?

Or should i just put another one way there or leave it stock?

I am looking at MB Quart Discus.

BTW... it's a 3-way speaker i have (Infinity Kappa 63.5i 6.5" 4 ohm). It appears only the high range (tweeter) was getting sound as there was now low-end at all (woofer driver did not vibrate at all).

Based on this, I will either get another set of components and use the one-way woofer from it or leave the stock speakers here.

What is the impedence of this speaker that BSW uses (MBQ or rainbow version)? Should be 4 ohms.

Interestingly enough, the sticker on the back of the front speakers say 2/4 ohm, while the rears say 2 ohm.

I am wondering if the 4 ohm MBQ's are not ideal to put here then. But i'm not sure that it matters.

Does anyone know about those 2 ohm rear speakers? I tried to ohm test them with no luck.

Does it really matter whether using 2 or 4 ohm here? And why the hell are the front speakers labeled 2/4 ohms!!! Why arent they all this way then lol.

I read this, which seems to be contradictory because Rainbow (and MBQ for that matter) ONLY make 4 ohm mid-bass drivers.

2.5 ohm?

WTF!!! DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE!!!!!

OK... i figured out what I am gunna go. I ordered one set of comps for now. I will test the midbass in the rear, if it sounds good I may order another set since its the same total price wheter i order 1 at a time or both together.

I am curious how it will sound, my guess is that the rear won't sound as good as the stock 2 ohm speaker (with factory non-dsp amp). By not as good I mean that it will be lacking low/mid frequencies due to the higher impedence rating.
