It is a dual voice coil speaker, not necessarily a problem. Specs list the voice coils at 4 ohms. Even wired in series it will only be 8 ohms. Factory radio wants to see a 16 ohm load. You can see in the speaker pic that it is labeled 16 ohm.

The picture I posted of the OEM speaker, it's a 10 ohm.
Also, factory radios for our trucks have engraved on the top of each one
"do not operate without 8 to 10 ohm speaker"

I had 2 original speakers re-coned by Jackson Speaker Service, Jackson, Michigan. they did a nice job on them. At that time they didn't have a web site or FB account but they may have now. I just typed the name into Google and called them from the info on there.

This was purchased from Dave Sutor, the radio guru of this forum, but never installed.

I stand corrected. The speaker that Grumpy pointed out will work fine with the coils wired in series. The writing looks like 16 ohm on my trashed speaker that I took out, have never inspected the am/fm I have for the caution.

if the newer style speaker will work i would rather go with that, it was the ohms i was concerned about. thanx everyone, hooverfish thank you for takin the time to post a pic
