Moto CDM1550 external speakers

[dixie729]

Have a 1550 mounted in one of our apparatus that has an external speaker on the outside pump panel that operates on a switch. When you flip the switch, the ext speaker comes on. My question is, the radio that is mounted in the cab is mounted on the floor and gets hard to hear. Can I wire another ext speaker in the cab area without blowing something, or can the radio hold 2 speakers?

There is a fellow on Ebay that sells the plug with speaker wire pigtail. Just attach whatever speaker but yo will need to have the radio programmed for an external speaker. The plug attaches to the rear of the radio.

If the radio already has one remote speaker, it's likely that the accessory connector is already there.

No programming required to use external speaker.

To answer the actual question, yes, you can add a second speaker to the system. It can be done in one of two ways.

1) Full time, just parall connect before the switch to the outside speaker.

2) Part time, replace the exesiting switch with a double pole double throw switch, connect one specker to one side of the switch and the other speaker to the other side.

When inside, switch in "p1" for inside speaker, and "p2" for outside.
