The woofers in the Monsoon are powered by the POS Monsoon amp and are 2 ohms. The tweeters are run off of the HU and are 4ohms.
If you want to upgrade the POS Monsoon system it's a good idea to just replace everything IMO.

from what ive heard if its running at 2 ohm and you slap a 4 ohm speaker in it, ive heard it sounds like crap because its not as loud as the monsoon speaker that runs at 2 ohms.
