Hopefully this does not confuse you too much....too many numbers for me

Edit....to answer your question, it appears they are 10 ohm also but may be wired in parallel to give 5 ohms

Correct. The speakers are wired in parallel, so whatever ohms speakers you use will be cut in half.

If you use 4 ohm speakers, you will create a 2 ohm per channel load on the head unit.

Check your new perspective head unit specs to see if it will handle 2 ohms (almost none will).

Then buy the Miata speakers from Clearwater...
