Default 4 ohm aftermarket speakers work well with original radio?
Hello any radio experts, I'm replacing my orginal 10 ohm underdash speakers with aftermarket upgraded 4 ohm speakers. Will this have any negative effect on my original '71 Am/Fm radio? Thanks for your help!

You should be o.k. The amplifier will just be working a little harder because you have a lower impedance load.
