The originals are 6 ohm wired in parallel (which takes the load town to 3 ohm) from what I could tell. I was more comfortable replacing the two 6 ohm speakers with two 8 ohm as that takes the load down to 4 ohm. A 2 ohm load is harder on an amp which would be the load with two 4 ohm speakers (I am not powering them off an amp, just the factory head unit for now).

The 8 ohms work very well as they do not take as much to drive from the factory stereo. They sell the exact same speakers at 4 ohm load also if you prefer to try.
