I have two sources (one navigation and the other a radio) and one set of speakers. Is it possible to wire this system altogether so I can listen to the sound from both sources? simultaneously possible? f not, what do I need to do to make it at least be able to listen to one of them at a time?
Thanks in advance.

The vehicle is a 1997 Ford Econoline with basically no existing radio and speakers. The navigation is Eclipse 30D and radio is Kenwood KRC-709. Thanks.

your kenwood radio has a cd-changer control.
This can be used as an AUX to get audio input to the kenwood.
So, to answer your question, the only recommended way to get audio from BOTH will have to be one at a time. Using the AUX from the kenwood to play the navi sounds.

Thanks for your reply.
I will consider doing that or maybe putting a speaker( or maybe a second set of speakers) under the dash or somewhere else for the navigation sound.
I was hoping to combine the sound from both unit but connecting them directly to one set of speakers will possibly fry the amps on the units.
