The question is :
1. How do they sound - and why aren't more people using them for dynamics?!?
2. What would happen if you ran a pair of 4 ohm mids in parallel - thereby bringing their impedance down to 2 ohms?

Thanks for any replies

they sound like the 4 ohms set, nothing diff. but the imp.

lots of people use them, just JL and MB-Q are the fad

I use the 2 ohm midbass and 4 ohm componet set in kicks and they are a wonderful set.

You can bridge the 4 ohm version on the amp which yields a 2ohms. but...just get the 2 ohms version so you don't have to do that. I Would keep the componets 4 ohm though and only bridge the midbass if running a 3 way setup. The 4 ohm componet set get plenty loud and stay accurate at high volumes.

My sig > nak cd 700>zapco sx-sl>slx4>Brax 2400/Brax 1000 to Focal 136ks
I wanted to remove the tweets and use horns - I personally like the focal mids - but thought the 2 ohm driver would give me even more headroom - since I would run the Brax at 2x400.
This is why I am asking the question.
I want to do horns and mids and JL IB4 8s in the doors - I also have a single JL 13 w7 powered by a Zapco 9.0 (4 ohm version)
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I'm installing the 2ohm components next month. I'll let you know how they sound!
