Really? I guess it shouldn't , but that surprises me. The factory speakers are 2 ohms. Replacing them with 4 ohm speakers would essentially halve the power to the speakers. Makes me wonder how good things would get if you actually used a good aftermarket 2 ohm speaker versus the factory 2 ohm speaker and/or the 4 ohm Mopar Kickers.
I think I might go pick up a set of 2 ohm Infinity Kappa's and see what happens. Thanks for measuring them for me. I had been wondering about it for a few weeks

Alright you guys talked me into it. I ordered all four and they should be waiting at my door when i get home. I already used half a roll of peal and seal in the roll bar (pain in the butt) and jammed it with polly fill, i plan on doing the same for the front speaker pods as well. Hope it sounds good.

Installed all 4 kickers last year and I just stuffed my sound bar with poly fill. Can't say the poly improved the sound but it did stop the vibrations at high volume. Major sound system upgrade coming in May. New head unit (still researching options) and a class D bazooka tube.
The kickers can easily handle all the non infinity head unit can put out with little distortion. Can't wait to get rid of that crappy radio.
