Hey guys!
Just bought a NOS 8-Track player to install in my '95 S-10. Stock unit, no rewiring yet. Hot wire, ground, hanging, all that shouldn't be too difficult, but speaker connection?

The 8-track is only a 2 channel system, so I'm looking for opinions on:

Should I just splice in to like the 2 door speakers? 2 dash speakers?

Ideas are appreciated.

Thx!

I think I'd prefer door speakers over dash speakers if I had to choose.

Just the artwork alone in the instructions is killer imo. I have an old Buick 8 track unit in the garage somewhere.

All mine still work. They don't sound great, but they work.

People still listen to records. Guess what, they sound like crap too. I don't give a damn how nice the turntable is. So yeah, it's not always about sound quality.

Hmmm, I'll have to disagree with you on that one. My David Gilmour Live in Gdansk box set sounds pretty f'ing amazing.

Not buying it. And I have albums and turntables.
