    There's a flip side to selling those speakers Jenn, you said they were nice speakers, and as long as you can figure out what ohm they are, or hopefully find a mark on them, you could use em yourself or give em to a friend, maybe even swap em for some scrap boards or something. The ohms mark looks kind of like an inverted horseshoe beside a number 2, 4, 8, 16 etc, and it's best to match numbers when swapping them out, adding them on etc.
    They can go in the shop, on another stereo or TV, maybe even in a car if the size matches. They go by 4", 6" 8" 6x9" etc. Depending on the organ it probly has good sound. Speakers are kinda where the rubber meets the road, and usually have pretty good sound, so placed in the right system and in the right setting they can do well. They don't have to be fancy just for add on or replacement. Sometimes the wood piece it was mounted into can be removed and used in it's new home. A simple plywood enclosure would work, just fill the back part with insulation and let'er rip. I used a heavy cardboard box one time to hold an 8" speaker from an office building system, cut a round hole in the box, packed it good with insulation, stuck the speaker in there and screwed the cover onto the speaker and it was mounted. Had a hell of a sound too. Gave it to a friend who had a Volkswagon Beetle and he hooked it up to his radio, this was back when car radios had a single speaker, usually in the middle of the dashboard. It made a nice boombox in that little bug.
    There's really lots you can do with speakers besides just sell em
