Hi guys,

So, I have ordered a set of speakers for the car, just some direct swaps for the default door speakers in my 5 door saxo.

I have ordered a Head Unit which says 4-8ohms output. Which I assume to be the standard. However, the problem comes with the set of 4inch rear door speakers I have ordered which are 3ohm. Now, I understand it will create more heat than usual, but I just want to know if anyone has done this? If so, have you seen any real effects from it?

The front speakers are 4ohm. But just forgot to check when I ordered the rears like an idiot.

I wont be playing anything overly loud. I just wanted a new system that had better quality rather than loudness without the need to get a separate amp.

Any advice would be much appreciated.
