Component set speaker blown

[strawsy]

So I have one speaker that is blown due to moisture coming from the window. I need some replacements asap. They are 2 ohm but it's very hard to find 2 ohm. Anyone know if I could just wire 2, 4 ohms together to get down to the 2 ohm and still be ok? I'm just trying to avoid replacing tweeters and crossovers.

Should be fine

Ok I figured it wouldn't hurt anything. I just hope the sound doesn't suffer. If I could buy the re xxx6.5 seperately I would but I can't.

Some components impedance is derived from the speakers themselves. Just a fyi

Measure the impedance of the non blown speaker and match it.

I'm pretty sure it's 2 ohms but I will double check. I measured the speaker wire attached to it instead of on the speaker itself just because it's a pita to get to.
