They have MICRO-farads at best.

I'd guess it's more like pico-farads.

I think it's usually specified in nanofarads actually. It's still farads though,
not ohms.

It is IMPEDANCE, dumb ****.

Guess what the signifier is. OHMS!

Guess who unnecessarily, and incorrectly uses terms like "Dumb ****"
to others and then in the same sentence shows his own lack of
competence? Just a little common courtesy shows more knowledge than
derogatory terms which only end up degrading the person who uses them,
and makes him a laughing stock when as so often happens, his comment
is just plain wrong.

My friend, it is correct o state the input as capacitance, because
that is exactly what it is. Thus the impedance is frequency dependent.
Had you stated a specific frequency then, the use of impedance is
relevant, but usually speakers are used over a range of frequencies,
and not at a single frequency. (yes I know that the coil speakers
also vary in impedance with frequency and mounting conditions).
