Default Replacing car speakers

Hi all...

I have a 10-year-old Grand Prix with two 6x9 rear speakers which are bad. I
also have a nice pair of Jensen tri-axial 6x9 speakers (model J310TX) which
have been stored away for several years just waiting to be needed. I don't
know how old they are but probably from the '80s.

However the original Pontiac speakers have two coils and two sets of wiring,
one of which is for sub-woofer control, according to my service manual.

So what should I do about that extra wiring when I install the Jensens,
which have only one connector?

I am also concerned about the impedance. The ones in the car are marked
4-ohms, but the Jensens aren't marked and I can't find anything about them
on the internet. The only markings other that the name and model are "160
Watts Peak Power", "60 Watts Continuous Power" and "92db Sensitivity". If I
measure dc resistance I get around 35 ohms, if that's a clue

Thanks in advance for any advice.
