Fox speaker question

What I'm trying to accomplish , is putting the ford radio/amp back into my car. But the car has aftermarket speakers in it. I was concerned that the ohms in those speakers are going to be too high for the stock amp.

the resistance of the speaker coil would be the least of my concerns. What I'd be looking at is whether or not the OEM head unit and amp even put out the RMS power needed to power those aftermarket speakers.

If the speakers you have are OEM replacements then it should be fine. If they are someone's idea of a ghetto rocking upgrade, then the minimum power necessary to support the speakers is probably out the range of the OEM amplifier.

It's not 4 ohms because the dash and doors are wired in parallel. Parrallel wiring messes with things a bit. I believe it's 6 ohms for the doors. The dash speakers use a base blocker for low frequencies and that allows for little power to go to the dash speakers

If you decide to use 6 aftermarket speaker, you can use 4 ohms but you need to install base blockers on the dash speakers. I had a thread on this a while back.
