I know this message is going to show my ignorance, but at the risk of sounding
dumb, I want to find out what my problem is. I have a standard radio in my car
with 8 speaker wires coming out - positive and negative to two front and two
rear speakers. I have a tape deck with four speaker wires - two to the right
and two to the left speakers. My switch has four wires for the tape deck 
connection (just right), and four wires for the radio connection (not right.) 
My question: What four wires should I use for the radio connection to the 
switch? Should I leave the wires that aren't necessary (if any) connected to 
something, or just clip it?
   As I said, this posting demonstrates my ignorance, but I'm willing to
learn. If anyone can explain how to solve this wiring problem, I'd be most
grateful and better educated. Please reply using uucp mail. Thanks!
