The 1965 Corvair multiplex used the three control unit and two speakers.
One in front and the rear seat speaker. Starting in 1966 Corvair used the
four control multiplex with four speakers.

One further note. In 1966, when the four speaker installation started, GM
- at least Chevy - went to a "Cross-fire" speaker installation. The rear
speakers were reversed from the fronts. The left front and the right rear
were one channel, the right front and the left rear were the other channel. In
theory, this provided a stereo "effect" and better L/R balance anywhere
you sat in the car. Purists, of course would cringe at this. But, Hey - First
it is in a car, a relatively noisy one at that. Second, If you tuned it
for the driver, everyone else would have poor separation anyway. You might try
it out on your installation. My final note - Unless you are building a
system to duplicate the factory 1966 install, try to find a better front
speaker location than the hack-job GM recommended in the door/door panel.
Yecch! - Seth Emerson
