type 44 speaker impedance?

[Mark Rosenkrantz]

If your car has a FUBA antenna, it's on the roof, in the base.  Otherwise, I
don't know.

FYI- FUBA made a change to the power side of the amp.  The early units had a
separate +12V wire in addition to the coax, using the chassis mounting hole
as ground.  The later units combined the +12V in the coax.  When going with
an aftermarket head unit, you'll need a converter to power a FUBA.
