sws-8's

I have the Alpine HI-FI Retrofit, I was wondering what SWS-8's should I buy 2 or 4 ohm?

Thanks

Scott

Try asking that question here

That is suppose to be a 85 watt per channel amp and I think it is
at the 4 ohm rating . The 2 ohm would be louder but the 4 ohm might sound better.

You also might look at Jehnerts which are made in Germany and are suppose
be be a more musical speaker.

+1
dont just buy the SWS's because 'everyone else does'. take a good look at the Jehnert XE200s, they are awesome. ive had mine for about a year and have been very happy with the bass they fill in with.

My understanding of the debate between the SWS vs. the Jehnerts really boils down to musical preference rather than one being better than the other. You really need to identify your musical tastes and then tailor the woofer to match, rather than the other way around. Otherwise you may end up with a speaker that is a bit underwhelming.

Since its almost impossible to demo these things

Read the following thread and note what VP says about the Jehnerts
and he is not down the SWS- 8s either
