Van Am/Fm radio speaker Ohm rating question
 

I have a Van Am/Fm i want to put in my truck. the radio is out of an appox 1975 76 chevy van. My question is did these 70's chevy van radios still need an 8-10 ohm speaker? I will just run one speaker in the center of the dash. Thanks

It's the same radio as that used in our trucks so it uses the same single speaker.

Yes, the van radios are still 10 ohm impedance.

Some van radios have a rear speaker option. If it has the rear speaker fader option, the radio will have a single light blue wire on the right side of the radio.

great, thanks guys. Next question is: has anyone found a good 8-10 ohm replacement for the dash? i understand that home stereo stuff is all 8-10 ohm.

Scroll about halfway to the 4x10 Delco replacement. This is what I did to replace the one in my truck. That is if you are simply wanting to stick with a stock replacement.
