I installed a really nice repro radio from antiqueautomobileradio.com
I have a three speaker setup (one in front two in back)
the radio has a speaker switch to select how many speakers
but how do I wire the front speaker?
do I join both front L and R wires both to this center speaker?
or wire L only?
R only?

also the car has a constant power line for memory
but the radio doesn't, do I connect this one or just join with power on supply?

I have emailed antiqueautomobileradio but have not got response.

I checked the manual for my radio and it doesn't say. You'd think it would have. I would phone them.

How do you guys like this radio? I'd like to go back to the stock look but have the aux input.

I would say it's original look is it's best feature. It's a bit of a quirky radio. If you're willing to accept that to get the look then go for it.

I like it mostly due to that it looks stock but does have that aux input; which is in the back, so i just ran the mini plug from it into my glove box.
however initially the sound was kinda poor...mostly due to the stock 3 speaker layout doesn't allow for proper balance and  fader function. corrected by adding a second dash speaker under neither. sounded 50 times better.
