Are there any component on the market that run at 2 ohms, if so where would i find them the only ones i see are running at 4 ohms only. Id like 2 ohms so i can run a set off my 2x75 rms amp insead of 4 ohms 2x50

no not that i know of

You could use a resistor. But I don't see the point. With the extra 50 watts total , you not gonna hear a perceivable difference. You have to have at least double the power to "hear" a difference.

i just don't want to get a set of 75-90 rms speakers if my amp is only 50 @ 4 ohms. and if i can find a set of 2 ohm 75 watts it would be a perfect match

Ratings are guidlines and not an exact science. It's not gonna make a huge difference. Your amp is not putting out a continuous 50 watts. Even if that is the RMS rating. It probably puts out a little more or a little less.

you also have to take into account the damping factor of your amp, which in laments terms is usable power. as your load decreases from 4 to 2 ohms your damping factor will also decrease which will give you less power than you expect all the while increasing distortion, which will be very noticable in your tweeters.
so your 25w rms increase per channel that you might gain, will probably only account to a few extra watts at the sacrifice of SQ.
In other words its not even worth you exerting anymore energy into researching this.

you could always get a set of components that can be bi-amped and then remove the bi-amp jumpers.

I am sure if you did some more searching you could find even more 2 ohm seperates.

I wouldn't get hung up on dampening factor other then if you have a really low number you have a crappy amp. Dampening factor is to complex for most people to understand anyway. And it is not a constant number. It will change differently with different brands of speakers. It is speaker impedence/(amplifier output impedence) and we all know speaker impedence is not constant, although some speakers are better then others.

i saw some infinitys that are 2 ohms look around.
