II's a much more modern replacement speaker, but 4 ohms will be OK. The original would have been 3 ohms.

Yes that looks quite a good quality speaker !!

Maybe if you can somehow seal the gaps around the edges, it could improve the tonal quality especially in the bass register.

It does have a nice tone and thank you for the suggestion of sealing the edges
I checked the speaker and it’s for a car stereo
