Hu to 2 ohm speakers ?

I have a Pioneers 4800-DEH HU and am looking at the Infinity Kappa 42.7 4" for the dash. They are two ohm. How stable are HU's at 2ohm?

Thanks

Jeff

I believe they said do not wire lower than 4 ohms.
Buuuutttt... i have a few nice 40x2, 50x2 and 60x2 w RMS amps (at 2 ohms) for sale... all old school orion and PPI... and thats at 12v..... (when im talking cheap, i mean like 20-40 bucks)

(edit: lower than 4 ohms SORRY)

Thanks for the replies.

But if I'm going go the Amp route I will get some components/kickpanels and go with a good bridgeable 4ch Amp. I just heard kappas were good. Maybe I will find some decent 4ohm 4" for the dash til then.

The D641i would be great, D341i if you don't have the budget for the D6 line.

I'd have to agree with you 100%, my 6.5 components sounded like crap and had no mid's or highs when hooked up to the HU (dehp 7500) first a 25x2 ppi amp, and now a 2x90 orion amp, they sound 100x better....
