The 1965  Corvair multiplex used the three control unit and two speakers.  
One  in front and the rear seat speaker. Starting in 1966 Corvair used the  
four  control multiplex with four speakers.

One further note. In 1966, when the four speaker installation  started, GM 
- at least Chevy - went to a "Cross-fire" speaker installation.  The rear 
speakers were reversed from the fronts. The left front and the right  rear 
were one channel, the right front and the left rear were the other  channel. In 
theory, this provided a stereo "effect" and better L/R balance  anywhere 
you sat in the car. Purists, of course would cringe at this. But, Hey -  First 
it is in a car, a relatively noisy one at that. Second, If you tuned it  
for the driver, everyone else would have poor separation anyway. You might try 
 it out on your installation. My final note - Unless you are building a 
system to  duplicate the factory 1966 install, try to find a better front  
speaker location than the hack-job GM recommended in the door/door panel.  
Yecch!  - Seth Emerson
