Impedance on Standard Radio

I have a 2001 Nissan Maxima with a Standard (non-bose) Radio. Anyone know the impedance rating on the radio? I've removed a rear speaker and it indicates 4 ohms. I'm planning on replacing the rear speakers. Just wondering if the radio is the same. Can it handle 2 ohms speakers? Thanks.

the stereo doesn't have impedance, but it expects a 4 ohm load if the old speakers are 4 ohm, if you install 2 ohm speakers it will work but you can easily kill the stereo since the speaker will be drawing more current then the stereo can provide, also clipping can occur which can damage the speakers
