How to buy replacement speakers

Vintage Asylum

Classic gear from yesteryear; vintage audio standing the test of time.

I have a pair of vintage Pioneer 811A 4 way, 5 speaker, bookshelf speakers. One has a damaged 12" cone type woofer (Pioneer ID# 30-735A), the other a damaged cone type 3" tweeter (Pioneer ID# 77-178f). The cab is an 8 ohm cab with a rating of 120 watts and a 30-22kHz freq response. The crossovers are at 1,300 Hz, 10 kHz, and 10 kHz. I attached the spec sheet for this speaker if that helps.

I put a multimeter on the woofer (removed from cab)and it measured 4.4 ohms. I did the same with the tweeter and it measured 6.2 ohms. Most replacements I've seen are rated at either 4 or 8 ohms.

That said, should I buy an 8 ohm replacement 3" tweeter and a 4 ohm 12" woofer? Is it that simple? Or, am I missing something? Thank you for any advice you can give me.
