If you replace a 2 ohm speaker with a 4 ohm speaker you will only get one half the original power. This is usually not a problem because you rarely, if ever, run a stereo system at full power. Half power is only -3db, which is generally only one click on the volume control. It might also sound slightly different because the cross-over frequency might be different,

After market replacement amplifier for infinity stereo amplifier in 2001 sebring coupe?

It is possible but impractical and may not be economically feasable. The labor fee to JUST to remove factory connectors and replace them with industry standard connectors would be cost-prohibitive, even with a factory schematic. Then you have to pay for system design and integration after that. It might be more economical to have the entire audio system replaced with an aftermarket system installed by car-audio professionals. If you still feel the need to replace the factory amplifier try to locate it's schematic by factory part number first then show that to some local electronics tecnicians who may be able to tap in to the original circuits for you. At least in this way you can do your own feasability study at minimal cost for the price of buying the schematics and presenting them for estimates. I am about to tackle a similar project on a Sebring convertible who's power amp took a bath and self-destructed afterwards. It looks like about a full week's work to me. GOOD LUCK.


What is the total harmonic distortion of a Bose stereo system?

Harmonic distortion belongs to all amplifiers, loudspeakers and simply all electrical equipment you use. When it comes to audio, the only effect you will hear is a constant resonant low noise if the speakers aren't good at handling harmonic distortion. None of the Bose speakers I have tested so far produce that noise, so you don't have to worry about that.


What is transient frequency?

Transient frequencies are short lasting wave form combination from several sources that produces frequencies that did not originate from the source. For example, there is a 40,000-watt stereo playing really loud techno music out in the woods. The speakers are in a valley that has an echo problem. The echos from the speakers can reverberate in such a way that they blend together and make sounds, often percussive, that were not part of the original music. You can hear this sometimes in corners of music venues too.
