Ohm-age and Wattage of Speakers?

I have a Coby CSMP80 2.1 sound system. However the right satellite speaker sounds scratchy at very sharp sounds. It is rated as follows:

Satellites: 4 ohms, 25W x 2; Subwoofer: 6-8max ohms, 50W; Total Output: 100W

I wish to change the satellite speakers to another set of 8ohms, 3W x2 will these work or should i go for the same ratings?

    Do not do this. Stick with the same ohm rating. Unless you have a knowledge of calculating speaker selection vs amp output you should never swap speakers with different ohm ratings. You may blow your amp or your speakers or both.
