here's a good link to read up on real quick- http://www.bcae1.com/spkrimp.htm
the 2 ohm speakers require an external amp, stock radios cant handle them. the lower the ohm's of the speaker the more amps they flow. works just like your run-of-the-mill electrical circuit.

i dont listen to CDs, i dont need a cd player, i listen to my ipod and the radio.. i have an ipod that plugs into the cassette player..
all i need to know is what the ohms are to the cassette head unit, so i can know if my speakers are going to work with it without hurting anything..

i dont have any "extra money" right now.. no one has answered my question.. im trying to make the stuff i have right now work.. not go out and spend money i dont have ..
what is the ohm of the stock cassette head unit?
if the ohms dont match up, then im not going to go buy a head unit to fit.. I am going to go back to the store and exchange the speakers for free to match the head unit already in my truck.

Those speakers will be fine in your truck. Though I cant answer your direct question I put 4 ohm speackers in my 93 f150 I had with the stock cassette player for about 6 months before I got an aftermartket cd player. You should be good to go.

Im not trying to bust your ***** here im just trying to tell you that your not gona see much of a difference even if you were to put the best speakers in the world in there with that stock head unit or an amp to power the speakers because there is only so much the head unit can put out

Yeh i hear ya. I just installed 4 new speakers a 4 channel amp for them and a 500watt sub amp but havent installed a sub yet because of lack of money. It sounds good but i know how good it can sound but having it run on half quality kills me!
