I think we're really splitting hairs here. I'm out of this one.

If its rated 6 ohms then its rated 6 ohms nominal. Its what the
manufacturer came up with.
Many speakers are rated at the MINIMUM impedance, not always nominal.
When I make a speaker, the impedance is essentialy the measured DC
resistance.
Unless I buy some of those Pioneer 6 ohm drivers, then its impossible for
me to go
lower than 8 ohms unless I go down to 4.
