I would make sure the radio has the front/rear speaker fader and run a 10 (or 8) ohm speaker in front and one of the 10 ohm speakers in the rear.
Be sure to read and understand both Bill Hanlon's and LASJayhawk's posts above - from their posts, the single-wire speaker connection and the always-flowing current are important things to remember.
I will also add (I missed it if someone posted it already) that the radio will tolerate an 8-ohm speaker where a 10-ohm unit first existed. That is a 20% change.
