2 ohm door speakers in 2010 Screw?
Hey guys, I have a 2010 Lariat Screw with no nav, just the regular hu with sync. This may have been addressed, but I can't find specifics via search.
I have two pairs of Infinity Kappa 682.9cf but notice they are 2 ohm. I'm not going to be installing an amp at the moment, just replacing the speakers. Will these 2 ohm speakers plug and play and improve the unimpressive factory sound or do I need 4 ohm speakers. Will they also be good if I decide to add an amp later?
Also, will I need a spacer for these to keep them away from the windows?
If the kappas won't work, feel free to provide suggestions for a no-amp, door speaker replacement only.
Thanks for any help you can offer!!
Edit: I did some more reading and found that although these are 2 ohm, when combined with the speaker wire it evens out to a 'true 4'....does this sound right? Probably been 20 years since I was up to speed on this stuff. Thanks

I did not have to use a spacer on my 10 and they are a vast improvement over stock because they have a very good sensitivity rating and work great off low wattage.
