Stereo speakers

[trucker]

If I want to add a pair of speakers to the rear of the caravan do I run wire from each speaker to the new ones or have I got to wire the new speakers into the stereo unit.

Thanks

No, you can't do that, you should connect to the rear of the unit. It should have 2 spare pairs of terminals to connect to speakers.

Thanks Brum will have a look for that.

Hi Trucker

Be careful - if you don't match the impedance of the speakers correctly to your amplifier (in this case, built into the cd/radio I would've thought), it'll damage your amp.

If you've got a spare pair of terminals it should be fine to add another pair of speakers - but check with your local dealer (or even the local car-radio shop) about the impedance your radio can cope with.

If you match your speakers carefully, it actually makes the amp work more efficiently and therefore louder! I'm sure someone on here has the technical speak to put that into words!

Enjoy!
