So a question here that I either missed the answer to or haven't seen it - for the stock HU, should I go with speakers that are 2 or 4 ohms? At this time I am not planning on installing any kind of amp. Yes, I know I won't enjoy the full capabilities of new speakers without an amp, but I've got to keep an eye on the $$$'s. Perhaps I can add a small amp later.

Thanks!

the ohm load of the speakers should actually be about the last thing you should be worrying about. A 4ohm speaker is generally more efficient than a 2ohm speaker, so, the additional power that a 2ohm speaker usually doesn't make much of a difference.
I've ran 4ohm & 8ohm speakers before.... you won't here an audible difference between them... its all the other specs that will make an audible difference.
