I was calculating them using the 16 ohm rating.
DCR is DC (direct current, or zero Hz) resistance. There is no such term as ohm resistance. If specified as resistance, it is DCR. If specified as impedance, a much bigger can of worms opens. To vastly over simplify, impedance is effective resistance at a specified frequency, an impedance curve is specified at enough points to allow a curve to be drawn between. Impedance is higher than DCR, which is why an 8 Ohm speaker measures less on DC multimeter. 8 Ohm would be "nominal" generally a mean figure. Not to be confused with Sports Illustrated models, who have mean figures of their own.
