Speaker replacement question 97 855 T5 850 1997

I found the front door speakers to be one-way four ohm speakers, roughly 5.25" size. The rear doors were two-way eight ohm jobbies, closer to 6.5" (more like 6";-) The LF had a break at the wire from the terminal to the voice coil, I resoldered it and we're now good to go. The LR had a big tear in the cone, so I replaced both rears with some old Sony 5.25" one-ways with wizzer tweeters. Sounds fine. I think the balance might be off between the rear tweeters and woofers, but the front's more important in that regard anyway...

I'm calling it done for now, though if anyone reads my other thread about using 8Ohm replacement woofers (likely from home stereo speakers), I'd be interested in hearing about it.
