Actually, if the original was an 8 ohm speaker, buy two 4s and put them in 
serially.  If the original was 4 buy to 8s and put them in parallel.  That will 
keep you balanced.  You will have less volume out of the two speakers than one 
single one would, but you will be transfering the same amount of power, so your 
radio will be happy.
