    I got in line for a 2022 Pro back in August. It will be a manual trans so no JBL stereo. I am planning a Kicker retrofit using factory wiring for the speakers.

    Stock head unit.
    Kicker KEY200.4 AMP
    Kicker 47KSC3504 3-1/2” Dash Speakers (will require some cutting)
    Kicker 47KSC6904 6” x 9” Front Doors
    Kicker 47KSC6704 6-3/4” Rear Doors
    Kicker 11HS8 8” Powered Sub

    My question is that it looks like the stock dash and front door speakers are 4 ohm, but appear to be wired parallel. If I am reading this right, I think that 4 ohm rated bass blockers installed in the line for the dash speakers will cut off at double their stated cutoff value since they will be at 2 ohms due to the parallel wiring.

    Do I have that right?

    very complicated indeed. Could depend where you install the cap in the circuit too, lol

    could you google: impedance 2 4ohms with capacitor;
    on another forum a poster explained it, diya

    I have the ksc 6x9 and 6.75s in my truck, would be interested to see your install of the 3.5s when you do it. I have the Subaru tweeters now which work well especially with amplification, but have thought about what it’d be like to add the 3.5s.
