Default Dual use of Cockpit Speakers??

There are several ways to do it but I would not recommend it. A decent
audio speaker has to much range for a VHF audio output. The wide
response range will make the sound muddy and harder to understand. VHF
speakers have very narrow response range on purpose. It makes the sound
crisper.

I have a pair of speakers in the cockpit coaming for the AM/FM radio..

I would like to figure out a way to connect the VHF external speaker to one
of these, so I can hear any calls on it in scan or monitoring of ch16.

Both radios are below deck so I can only hear them in the cockpit on a
remote speaker..

I know I could just use a toggle switch, but would prefer to find a way to
combine both outputs so the VHF would be heard over the AM/FM output.

Is there a simple way to do this and prevent one unit from harming the
other??
