Most modern solid state radios of today require at least a impedence of 8 ohms across the speaker jack. If you're really concerned about your new speaker, put the leads of an ohm meter on the speaker plug. If it reads 8 ohms or a bit higher, it will be fine.

thanks kCOGXZ The speaker looks like a computer speaker, it has the groves on the side of it, it sounds great, I don't have a omp meter so I will have to wait, thanks a lot for answering
