No they can't. Only the specialist amps are usually 2 ohm. Most consumer amps are 4.....

ohh i see alot of 4 channel amps with 4ohm and a 2ohm load

i am actually sure on this one, every 4 channel amp i have looked at so far have a 2ohm and a 4ohm load

i am currently looking for a new amp so thats why i have been looking

2ohm is more rms power but then it gets split into more than 1 speaker/woofer or what ever is connected if it is not a DVC4ohm

how about just stfu

How about stop putting peoples expensive equipment, money, car and possibly life on the line by giving shotty advice conjured from random assumptions. Electricity is dangerous, there's not really any room for error. Just because your s**t caught on fire, doesn't mean everyone else's has to.
It's pretty stupid to give someone advice based on the assumption that you can throw anything in parallel and it will work. I just picked a random Pioneer Amplifier on the web and it only runs in 4 ohms, you lose.

VY2 Berlina hail damaged
check out the Phreddy / ASR threads under sponsors they seem to have a system down pat for this problem. I am trying to raise funds for my own mod :)

I couldn't care less about any of that. The fact of the matter is you are misadvising people, putting them, their gear and their cars at risk. Stop giving people the wrong information, end of story.

I'm under the impression that all VYs have them cut out already, with the pieces of sheet metal held on by a few tabs... ie. the only cutting needed is the parcel shelf cover, which is not the body of the car and therefore not illegal...

Just putting it out there. Incase the holes weren't big enough etc etc.

Should do research before you cut anything metal

Yeah that's fair enough. There was another bloke in a different thread that was considering a DIY sunroof install, enough said :\

Yes, what you will need to run them amplified is: a line out converter, set of 6x9 speakers, 2 channel amplifier (if these speakers are all you want amped), speaker wire and amp wiring kit. Wire up the amp the same way you usually would, but when you get to the RCAs, splice wires into the rear channel head unit outputs(run + to +, - to _ for both rear channels ect.) and run them into the line out converter which will have RCA outputs, then run your RCAs to your amp, and finally using speaker wire, connect the 6x9s in the parcel shelf to the amp.
