Order Upgrade speaker

I want to order a new speaker https://www.rctank.de/LAUTSPRECHER
I have the Taigen V3 MFU but can it handle 4 or 8ohm ? Is the stock Taigen speaker 4 or 8ohms?
I opened the stock speakerbox on my tank but there is no writing on the speaker

this is the Taigen speaker I want to replace

Thanks for your response

You can actually measure the ohm value of your current speaker with a multimeter, have the speaker sat steady on a flat surface as per the pic above & measure the resistance between the two wires.

I’ve used it on various boards

Thanks so much ! I was thinking last night of doing just that

Is this the right setting on my multimeter?
(I put my stock Taigen speaker in a cardboard box lol (also helps with bass))

I have this speaker with HL latest gen controller. It is louder than stock HL.

That's where you're wrong Mr Wardog
The speaker is what has the ohm rating, it's the resistance in ohms of the speaker.
It's the amplification that can struggle if the speaker resistance is not suited to it.
Car speakers are normally rated at 4 ohms but usually measure slightly less.
Volume wise, with the same amplification a 4 ohm speaker will be louder than an 8 ohm speaker of the same size.

Yep, I can confirm. I once bought by mistake 16 ohm headphones for my walkman instead of 8, was like listening through cotton wool.
As for what components "take," speakers in this instance, they are given the available volts, they take what amps they want (or try too), and their resistance is down to their construction. Therefore, a 4 ohm speaker will try to draw more amps from its source than the 8 ohm, in this case the control board (m f u). If the control board can't handle the speakers demand something will burn out.
