[QUOTE="HardofWhoring, post: 8854505, member: 674149"] No clue about your system, but I would pull the good speaker out on the other side. Use a multimeter on the speaker to see if it's 4 ohms. Factory systems, with factory amps are the ones that have goofy ohm ratings for budget amps, and might be odd wiring. Factory systems with factory amps, are usually designed to where it's just best to use it all or none. The factory amps are usually really low wattage, with speakers designed for it. Then using that amp or not using the amp requires some adapter, (which offsets the cost of buying new equipment. If your head unit doesn't have NAV, then you can get an aftermarket head unit that SHOULD do everything it does and more for $100-$200. If it's a double din, then a little more. Those kickers are 15-50w RMS, so they will play great off head unit power. Were you happy with the factory system before the speaker went out? [/QUOTE]
