“which ohms is correct? one site lists them @ 8 ohms, another 6 ohms, label on speaker is 8 ohms; actual stamp on woofer shows 6.5 ohms, midrange & tweeter are stamped 7 ohms! So, what are they really; my receiver delivers different wattage according to the resistance!”

Must consider the crossover network as part of the speaker system, which typically has induction coils, capacitors, and resistors. Generally speaking, your amp should run OK if your speaker system is rated between 4 to 8 ohms (4 is usual for cars and 8 is usual for home). Car amp is low voltage and will run hot if you pile too much load on it.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Actually impedance for speakers varies slightly with the frequency being reproduced, so the amp needs to have enough of a power supply to drive a 6 ohm load, but at some frequencies the load will be 8 ohms. This gives variations in volume by frequency and is the reason few speakers produce a flat frequency response.
