Is easy: resistance is static (dc). Impedance is resistance to active (sound waves: ac) I buy only mylar speakers, not paper.

When I installed new speakers in the doors I listened with and without the tweeters connected. I think with the tweeters connected you get better sound. Probably because high frequencies are more directionional and tweeters put the high frequencies closer to ear level. As far as your new speakers not measuring exactly what they are rated at... speakers are rated in ohms but it's ohms of impendence, not resistance. Although similar they are not the same thing. Impedance can't be measured accurately with an ohm meter. When you connect your ohm meter to the speaker you are measuring the DC resistance of the voice coil which will always be a lower value than impedance. Impedance is an AC measurement.

I ordered 2 padded console covers from Amazon yesterday for $7.99 each: 1 black for the '00 Eldorado, and 1 black with red pattern for the '91 Reatta. The covers will hopefully keep the console lid leather like vinyl looking good.
