Just try to get gm speakers.

Just so you know ohms is the measure of resistance, more ohms = more resistance and vice-versa. You can use 4 ohm speakers on a radio made for 8 ohm speakers but you run the risk of frying the amp inside the radio from the increased current when you turn the radio up loud.
