replacement speaker

I'm needing a replacement speaker for the AM radio in my 67 Delmont hardtop. The speaker is a 4 X 10 and 10 ohms. I have yet to find a 10 ohm speaker in this size, most are 4 or 8 ohms. I was trying to repair it from info on you tube, but the {arkinsons shakes made the tears worse, didn't release I had gotten so bad. Any help is appreciated.

You can also buy a 6 ohm high power resistor to add to a 4 ohm speaker. I usually mount the resistor to the metal part of the speaker housing and wire it through the ground side. That way you can still use your factory wiring from your radio.
