This info ONLY pertains to the Alpine stereo.

Went to replace speakers today, and when we pulled out the rear 6x9, it tested on a meter as 3.6 ohms. There is a lot of misinformation floating around apparently. Here's the speaker part numbers for 19 & 20.

2019 & 2020 amps - 68441768AA noise supp/68441769AA amp
2019 & 2020 F&R 6x9s - 68423513AA
2019 dash - 5064359AB
2020 dash - 68423513AA

When Googling the part numbers, the speakers all show up as 4 ohm. 6x9s say 300w max, can't find watts for dash or amp info other than basic description. But, with the rear speakers testing at 3.6 ohms, it's safe to assume it's a 4 ohm system, NOT 2 ohm.

So, this would also explain why people notice such a drastic difference when replacing with 2 ohm. If your stereo gets louder just by speaker replacement, that makes sense in this case. They SHOULD only be more clear.

Anyone else have some real world data to share? Remember, Alpine 9 speaker ONLY.

I did not loose any volume changing the dash speakers to JL Audio C2 nice and efficient with sweet soft domes. Can’t stand tinny high’s.
