Hey everyone,
I have found a stereo that will fit in my new dash. It is a 1977 stereo but with this comes a few slight problems, I know that the stereo only supports 4 ohms and my speakers in my 79 t/a are 10 ohms and that could damage the drivers in the stereo.
The plug on the stereo 1977 has the basic 5 wires, ground, +12, lamp, R-spkr, and f-spkr.
Here are my questions,
1) Since my speakers have two wires on each one + and - what do I do with the - wire off each speaker?? Should I gound them to the body? (only thing that makes sense to me)
2) If I join both + speaker wires from the rear to each other, would this reduce the ohms enough for the stereo to handle??
3) what do I do with the front speaker to reduce it to 4 ohms, I believe it is 10 ohms since it has two wires coming off it also.
4)If I was to buy 4 ohm resistors and tie them into each + wire of the speakers. would that work??
Cheers,
