I currently have a XTL 2500 with a small external speaker. I am looking to add a remote speaker in a shop bay. I would like this to have its own volume control so the office speaker does not have to be adjusted to adjust the bay speaker. I have seen that port 21 can be used for this.
My question is what else would be needed? I know I would need a small amp to accept this audio input and feed my shop speaker.
I also saw that you can not ground the audio output loop but going to a small amp should be ok correct? Can someone let me know how to wire it up?
I am guessing I would go from pin 21 to pos in on amp and from pin 1 to the neg in on the amp. Then just hook my speaker to that. Or do I need something between the radio and amp?
Would something like a cheap 2 channel home audio amp from Amazon be appropriate for this?
Thanks for you help.
