unless best buy carries OEM style 10ohm speakers... you cant use the normal aftermarket brands of car audio, they are all 4ohm & not compatible with the factory radios in these cars... yes they will "work" but will overheat like you found & eventually damage the radios amp....or you need to add a resistor in the positive speaker wire of each speaker to increase the ohm from 4 to 8-10.
check ames or other places like classic for the right ohm speakers for these stock radios. most carry this brand called retro sound or others that are the right ohm rating for factory radios.
