You mean you UNPLUGGED the speaker altogether and still got 7K?

Oh...wait, you have permanently replace Field coil with the equal value resistor?
Then yes, unplugging the speaker will not affect anything and this will remain about 7K.

And no, the volume will not vary anything. Not just because it is low value compared to the rest of the divider, but the wiper is not part of the circuit.
People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
