installed new speakers and theres a problem `
got all four installed and the front drive side makes a white noise when the vol is on low , and if i crank up the vol , the head unit kicks off and flashes "protect" on the face
i have no i idea what could be the problem all the other speakers work fine

The impedance tells you basically how much current will flow through a speaker at a certain voltage. The speaker impedance only indicates how to drive the speaker to full power, that is, use an amplifier or head unit with a matching output impedance.

Yeah. Ive never understood it, as in the specs it will say 2ohm lol. I could be wrong, Im just going off what my old sets of kappas set (2 years ago). I put a set in both my old ranger and my mr2

I THINK I FIXED IT just for the he!! of it i put the front speaker in the back and the back in the front and it didnt pop when i put the speakers in ? so i slowly turned the radio up to 28 and all seems welll( these speakers sound great might i add ) so im going for a test drive too see if that fixed it

Keep in mind, any bad noises from the speaker will be drowned out a lot in the rear. You may think they're gone but they may still be there, but are being drowned out by being in the rear, blocked by the seats..
If you wanna know for sure then adjust the fader all the way to the rear and crank her up. Any problem will (should) present itself..

glad you got it worked out but it sounds like you were shorting out a wire and the buzzing on low volume wasnt enough voltage to put the head unit into protect so you got the engine noise hissing and once you turned it up more voltage was being grounded putting the head unit into protect mostly all aftermarket headunits can take a 2ohm load especially kenwoods and sonys whatever you said you have so i doubt that would present a problem even if it couldnt handle 2ohms it would still work until you really started to blast it... my guess is that either the + positive terminal was touching the sheet metal or one of your screws was hitting a wire... when you moved the speaker to the rear you probably altered the way the speaker was mounted not resulted in a grounded +
