Easy, put the old ones back in. BTW, all 6.5" speakers sound like crap.
With 4 ohms speakers, theoretically you are able to put more power
into your speakers. At the same postition of your volume control,
you get more power now. This may cause that the loudness control
is much more active at normal soundlevels, giving your more bass
than desireable. There's also an increased risk that you damage your
radio, when played (very) loud.
