The switch I bought is called DPDT. It has six posts: 2 left, 2 center, 2
right.
I intended to use the two on the left side for the left and right stereo
channels and the two on the right side for the VHF (jumpered to both posts).
The center posts are for the grounds of both speakers.
I know I can add a separate speaker for the VHF radio. My idea was to use
the existing stereo speakers for the VHF radio with the option of switching
them back to the stereo.
I sometimes place my hand held radio in a holder mounted on the engine
compartment. That's OK, but uses up the batteries.

That connection could destroy Your amplifiers..

To be on the safe side You need a 4-pole 2-position switch (4+4+4=12
terminals).
