A lot of people take the easy way out and tap the rear speakers and use a line level converter(many self-amplified subs come with the converter on-board). But for the best result you should take advantage of the fact that there is line level signal available at the back of the C6 head unit in the wiring harness. Here's a link to a write-up I did on how to get the signal:

If you're installing an amplified sub then the ohms don't matter - ohms only matter when you're pairing it up with a separate amplifier.

Are there crossovers built into this base system ?

Tapping the low-level output at the head unit (or down by the amp in the passenger footwell if you trace the wiring) is the same regardless of which system and head unit you have.
