<VV> Installing Radio in Corvair

[Mike Kost]

Most importantly the speaker impedance should NOT be lower than the 
radio is expecting. If both of your speakers are 8 ohms and the radio is 
expecting 4 ohms you should parallel the speakers. If the speakers are 4 
ohms you should put them in series (one radio wire to one speaker, one 
radio wire to the other speaker, and a wire between the speakers). If 
there is a dot (or +) on the speakers make sure you connect it to the + 
out of the radio (with the + from one speaker and - from the other 
speaker connected on a series install).
