The dash speaker is 4"x10", a common OEM size for vehicles up through the mid-80s. It is a Mono speaker used with AM and Mono FM radio options. Aftermarket dual voice coil speakers are available to replace the mono unit for ease of upgrades.

Door speakers on all AMC cars are 5¼. AMC used Motorola radios with 3.2 Ohm (4 Ohm nominal) speakers. This makes aftermarket replacement straightforward.

Radios have internal, replaceable lights.
