GM car speakers versus other makes
Chryslers and maybe many other makes have the two left speakers connected to the left channel of the radio. GM radios OTOH did or do connect the front left and rear right speakers to the left channel, and the others to the right.
Or course, one can rewire his car either way, in most cases just by interchanging two pairs of wires.
In the opinion of the readers here, which method has more advantages?
Which is better for someone who is usually in the car alone?
With GM I guess if you're in the back seat, the violins aren't on the left anymore, but otoh, the volume for both channels should be the same wherever one sit. No one sits in the center of a 4-seate car, on the console or half-way between the front seat and back seat, so the Chrysler system, used by most cars maybe, has a disadvantage that if you have someone in the passenger seat, he hears more of the right channel and you hear more of the left.
GM's design solves most or all of that. But it depends on how often the driver will be alone and how often there will be 1, 2,
3 passengers AND he'll be playing the radio.OT3H, with Chrysler's design, if you are driving and others are sleeping, you can move all the sound to the left front and leave the other speakers very quiet, so they can sleep. Or if you're the passenger and the driver doesn't like the station you want (though in my world the driver gets to pick the station) you can turn everything to the right front.
