Default Ext spkr for VHF Radio

I want to use the two stereo speakers of my boats AM/FM/Cassette Player for
my VHF radio. I wired both radios to a Double Pole Double Throw switch. The
AM/FM/Cassette Player works, but the VHF radio volume is so low I can barely
hear it.
The specifications for both radios state 4-8 ohm speakers. The
AM/FM/Cassette Player states 14 watts RMS maximum stereo power, the VHF
radio states 4 watts audio output.
Is there anyway I can use the stereo speakers for both radios? If not, will
the VHF radio have enough power to hear it if I add two of the mini-speakers
designed for it in the rear cockpit area?
