Ok lets say i want to install JBL STAGE 600C Component speakers.

And these are 2.5 Ohms....2.5 Ohms seems low for car power supply.

Will installing this directly into the Head Unit without amplifier, cause overheating and burn down the car?

Actually, getting a small amplifier would be the safest bet.

What small amplifier is cheap and works?

Well, the HU does have built-in amplifier inside in form of Power Amp IC. I'd say this IC will just shut down when overheated and works again once cooled down. If continue over-driving it, then it will damage eventually.

I was thinking that too. so i was thinking, from Head Unit to this.

Then from this Blaupunkt Amplifier, to this

https://shopee.com.my/JBL-STAGE-600C-300W-M...0758.2727409391

Then disable the rear speakers.


Good idea?
