Re: Head Unit Impedance
It says in the manual if you dont have the manual you can get it off the net. Usually its 4-8ohms. But some of the older factory car speakers have some off the wall impendances, 6x9's in my bazer were 10ohm.

Re: Head Unit Impedance
what do you plan on doing? and with what equipment?
generally you just want to keep your head unit at 4 ohms or higher.

Re: Head Unit Impedance
Yes a crossover would be a good idea, let alone putting more speakers on the HU isnt the greatest idea considering they dont put out alot of power as it is.

why? yes you'd need a highpass for them or they'd last about 5 seconds

Re: Head Unit Impedance
Earthquake isn't a very well respected brand...
