I wanted to know if there is a audible difference when it comes to 6.5 Speakers with a 2 ohm or 4 ohm load. I really want to hook up these speakers: They are 2 ohm Infinity Kappas.

I want something loud but I dont want it to sound like crap. If I get this I will be running it off this amp (1 pair of the infinity components and a pair of the coaxial in the rear)

There will be no significant difference in SQ inherent to the speaker.  Most amps operate better (cleaner) into a 4-ohm load than they do a 2-ohm load, however, and this can cause SQ issues related to impedance loading.

O i see, so what matters is how the amplifier handles 2 ohms. Well I believe hifonics is a good quality amp. What amp do you reccomend?

Hifonics is an OK amp.  Are you interested in real SQ or just something that sounds decent?  And what's your budget?

I am just looking for something loud, but where it also sounds good while being loud. U kno, I dont want something that crackles or has muddy vocals.
Well, as for the speakers my budget is 400$ max (thanx to my dad)
Thats should be 200$ per a pair of speakers.

cerwin vega 65cs components sound really good for 150 on sonic electronix. for ten bucks more you can get the focal 165 a1's. both are nice components. like what Dyohn said hifonics are good amps for the price youll pay. there not audiophile grade but theyre nice amps. never had a problem with overheating with my hifonics amps. theyll go loud and keep a good retaining sound quality.
