Got this vintage Saphire radion and want to wire it to each side speaker; it was originally wired to just one speaker.
I'm thinking that spliting each of the two wires will do the trick ? If not I'd like to know. And, can this radio be wired to an amp ? Attached image(s) |

Here's a quick chart I found that shows how to wire them up to match.
After you figure out what the existing speaker is, you'll just need to make sure you match it with the two speakers. If you are currently driving 8-ohms, and you drop to 4-ohms, you'll likely cause your radio to lose it's magic smoke! You'll obviously be "Mono" but if you're rocking an AM radio, I don't think this will be an issue for ya. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Hope that helps. Attached image(s) |
