Anyone know where I could find a 8-10 ohm 4"x6" dash speaker for 60's series trucks?

Walmart carries speakers of various sizes. I mention Walmart because if they carry something usually someone else sells it because their game is to kill the competition.

I checked several of the auto part stores, but not there. The guy who rebuilt the original radio indicated that many of the after market stuff is in the 4 ohm range and will simply fry? 4 ohm was what I found elsewhere. Anyway, I'll check W-Mart as well.

An impedance mismatch would be more of a problem with a radio that has a transistor output. Maybe that is the case with yours.

I recently bought up a bunch of 6x8 speakers that were surplus aftermarket Ford replacements. They were still new in the plastic containers. You might be able to find your size in a replacement speaker for one of the more modern cars.
