[NJARC] Sony Radio Speaker Question 3.2 Ohm vs 8 Ohm

[Rich L.]

Ed, you can get more distortion at high volume levels and your battery life
will be reduced due to the higher peak currents in the audio output stage.
But if it sounds good, use it!

I have a Sony portable transistor radio with a bad speaker in need of 
replacement.  The speaker is four inches diameter, 8 ohms, 2 watts. 
In my junk box I have a four inch speaker, 3.2 ohms, 3 watts.  I tested 
the junk box speaker with the radio and it seems to work OK.  Can anyone 
tell me if there might be some problem in the long run by using the 3.2 
ohm junk box speaker in place of the original 8 ohm speaker?  It would 
be nice to know before I install the speaker (looks like I will have to 
use hot glue), slip in five pot and switch sliders and button up the 
whole thing with a bunch of screws.
