Don’t worry, you can’t set anything ablaze with a half a watt & 9 volts of power? And don’t worry about the ohms difference, its a Lo fi amp, not crucial?

OK, thank you very much! So, then I can use one 3.2 Ohm speaker? (My preference. Two amps!)

Yea, those are good, do not pass on any Sony made speakers. They don’t fool around? I don’t use anything under 2.5 watts for LM386 amps. Way better than the half watt speaker that’s in a Smokey?

 Thanks for that tip, Brian! Coincidently, I am making a smokey from one of your layouts. Gonna try to add a volume to it since none of my CBGs have a volume control yet.

nearly any speaker will work with a LM386, here's one i made using a LM386 and an old draw plus a 12" FANE 15 ohm speaker, sound's fine,

 Yeh, I saw this one awhile back. Fell in love with it immediately. Been meaning to tell you for awhile - I like your work. Very  nice work.

Thank you for the info.
