CB External speaker wiring

[Ben Breese]

How do all, I'm gonna be wiring two spare speakers I've got lying around into the cb, and put them in the headlining. Now, I've wired single external speakers before, but not two.
So, do I solder two wires onto the +ve of the jack and two wires onto the -ve of tha jack, and have one pos/ neg conbo to one speaker and the other pos/neg combo to the other speaker?
Or do you have to wire them in a circuit because you go off the same jack for both?

Cheers, Ben

It very much depends on the impedance of the speakers, and the impedance that the CB audio amplifier wants to "see".

Somewhere near the speaker jack there should be a label saying something like "6 Ohms" or "8 ?". The speakers you are installing will also have an impedance marked on them.

What is written on the speakers, and what's on the CB? Let me know, and I can tell you the best way to wire them up.

Cheers,
Marc
