Ohm any ohms?

Hi - I have a few random used speakers in the drawer which don’t have the ohms marked on the back. They will likely either be 100 ohms from ESU loksound 3.5 decoders, or 4 ohms from more recent ones. Includes a couple of DC kits speakers. Is there an easy way of working out what ohms they are ? I have a multimeter at the ready... grateful for advice.

Fabulous, thanks Richard. Four x 8 ohms at top as you thought; others were 4 ohms (dc kits) and smaller ones were a 100 and another 8. 
Have just been browsing some of your projects; I feel an order for some speakers coming on for some half-finished projects ! Cheers again.

Those top 4 speakers look like TTS speakers so will be 8 ohms,

 

You can check the impedance with a cheap multimeter, it wont be 100% accurate but it will be close, for example I might say a 4 ohm speaker is 5 ohms but it will be close enough to know

The two Supersound speakers are 4Ohms 3 Watts.
