As far as I remember, 8 ohm was pretty standard for automotive speakers back then.

I thought they were supposed to be 4 OHM at the time. I did some brief research on this. There is some evidence to suggest the early 70s radios are meant to have 8 ohm speakers. Later cars 4 ohms. Thanks to Radiomuseum.org, I found a manual for our specific model 1970 Frankfurt US 7639670. It it indicated 5,8 ohm. The Zenith speakers in the car measure ~6 Ohm. |

These look really close to mine. Do they work? Gonna swap in some new somethings for sure.
Your +/- are the same terminal size no? Mine are not. Here is one of mine, '70 factory -6. Doesn't appear to have ohms noted. Although I have no way of knowing if the radio/speaker was factory or dealer installed. Nothing listed on CoA. |

I don't have the radio on very much, but both speakers work. Not sure about + or - terminals; they are the same size and been a long time since I traced the wires back to the actual radio, |
