Better car audio sound?
based on household speakers ive notice you get way better sound in general from 8Ohm speakers i know there is 8ohm speakers for cars BUT will this actually give better sound than my 4Ohm factory speakers and even better sound than 4Ohm aftermarket speakers?

Speaker impedance makes no difference. It's all in the design of the system. Box crossover ect. But most important is the quality of the speakers themselves. Quality car audio amp's are designed for low ohm loads 2-4 ohm in some cases even lower. If you replace your 4 ohm speaker with the exact type of speaker but this one being 8 ohm your sound should not change...The only thing you may notice is your amp doesn't have the power it had on the 4 ohm load...
The main problem will be that it will take nearly twice as much power to run the 8 ohm speakers as the 4 ohm speakers and it is a whole lot easier to get power from AC current than DC current. So, typically you want to go with the lower ohm speakers, say 4 ohm for loud speakers and 1-2 ohm for subs.
8 ohm is the way to go but the sound really comes from the amplifier behind it!
