i was thinking of getting two Uniden ESP20s and use a split pig tail on the back of the radio for both speakers one on each side of the dash would this produce some Surround?
i have two Jupiter Jacks and i use one of them time to time from radio to car stereo ( sounds good too )
i ask because my old Skool ( before my time ) Radio shack black and silver speaker well took a kapootz and distorts with a vol. no higher than 2 ...... cant drive and listen to the Dxlanders with distortion.

Surround sound uses mltiple channels of sound "perspective". You're splitting a mono signal (one channel) between two speakers. That's not surround sound and actually doesn't even qualify as stereo. If your Jupiter jack works as well as you say why bother with outboard speakers?

i like listening to music, but i will just stick with the JupitorJack and not bother spending $ on a new speaker.

do they make a jack that input is mono and converted to output stereo?

negative. A stereo signal starts as a stero signal. Just like music.

    Hello gentlemen and Ladies. I have the dreaded RCI-2990 receive issue where my radio gets distorted when people get close to my location. I found the C90 Capacitor, but I can not for the life of me find the C89 capacitor. Can or does anyone have a picture of the exact location of C89 ? Thank you in advance, Wes
