if cars are anything like home stereo i have to agree with the above. cheap speakers as well as low wattage. i would get good speakers first and see what happens. if you need to keep that stereo get a cheap little amp at least 40W per channel. more enough believe me.
btw i got the speaker idea from the camaro site www.nastyz28.com and the pics are about 8 years old by now. so they may not even make that speaker number anymore, it could be outdated.

I really don't know what the convector does but on all of the radios that have the A/M stereo 8-track tape player. It is located on my car up above the glove box & has 5 wires coming from it that plugs into the back of the radio. I think it is on all the radios that have the 8 track player.

Try a search in the 68-69 tech, This topic has been gone over many times.

I have a 69 GTO and I'm installing a non-stereo am/fm that has to be used with 8-10 ohm speaker. If I'm following this correctly I can use two 4 ohm speakers hooked up in series or two 8 ohm if I use a fader switch. Is that right? If so can I use a fader from a Chevelle? They are more available that Pontiac ones.

Fader switch
Frank R-
If the picture you posted is a switch from the Chevelle I would think it would work, as it looks exactly like the fader switch out of my 69 GTO. I don't know this for sure, but if you already have it, I would try it out and see. I don't think it would hurt anything, it should either work or not.

I did pickup the correct switch for my 69. I need to know the correct ohm speakers to use for my am/fm. It's rated for 8-10 ohm and if they should be wired in series or parallel.

Frank & the group:
The speaker needs to have an 8 or 10 ohm 'rating'...refer to my post #17 above. If you don't have speakers, you can get them from SM Electro-Tech (http://www.turnswitch.com/speakers.htm) - tell them that the RediRad Guys sent you. If you DO have speakers but they're crusty, you can have them re-coned for similar money. Good luck with it! |

So if I want to connect a 1971 factory radio expecting 8 ohms to a newer amplifier connected to 4 ohm speakers, can I splice in a four ohm resistor in series to get the nominally correct resistance? And that’s avoid frying my old radio.

Does anyone know where to get impedance matching transformer to take four ohm impedance amp to 8 ohms impedance?

You can put 2 4 ohm speakers in series.....just decide on placement.
You can also add a 4 ohm resistor in series....the resistor will dissipate the same power as the speaker tho. George

Does your amp use the radio's speaker output as input?
