I may pull the kick panel speakers out and verify resistance with the new dash speakers in. Again, I doubt it will be an issue, but I don't want to cook the factory system. Going from 4 ohm to 3 ohm nominal resistance on the dash won't change the load the amp sees much either way, but two 3 ohm speakers in parallel might (2 to 1.5 ohms is a pretty significant change). I am assuming they are wired in series and or there is a passive crossover on the kick speaker or in the kick panel that presents a consistent load to the amp. That could also affect my eventual choice for kick panel replacement speaker. My current plan is to buy mid priced components and just use the mid range speaker in the kick panel, without the tweeter or crossover.This is what I am wondering also with the kick panel plug and wiring. Do they simply pass through to the dash or are they parallel to the kicks. That will make a huge difference in choosing the correct ohms and also if you could/should use different ohms between dash and kick
