Hi,
I have an original 67 GTO with the factory AM indash radio and a factory 8-track underdash with front and rear 6x9 speakers that are 10 OHMS. I need to replace them because that are almost 40 years old. I cannot find any 10 ohm speakers so I wanted to know if I use a lower ohm speaker will it harm my radio and tape deck?
THANKS

you can use a 4 ohm speaker or an 8 ohm speaker if you use something called an L-pad to attenuate the load.

PS good luck with the Goat. I drive a 66 charger myself.. although I didn't go the resto route. I made her into a streeter. 500" ICH motor, custom audio setup, whole new drivetrain and suspension etc.
fun cars.
