As a follow-up, the easiest solution, by far, and perhaps the least
expensive one, is to purchase a dual voice coil speaker. Each voice coil is completely (as they say) independent of the other so there is no damage to equipment. I have no idea whether you can find a dual voice coil horn, but you can search for one. Good luck. Chuck chuck wrote: There are a couple of ways to do this. 1. Use resistive pads at the outputs of the two radios and a resistive summation circuit to feed a separate amplifier which then feeds the single speaker. 2. Use a stereo-to-monaural isolation transformer backwards. Each radio feeds one stereo input and the monaural winding feeds your single speaker. I am certain #1 will work, but it obviously requires purchase of an amplifier and some soldering. Amps are not particularly expensive, but this is probably not a job the average boater would undertake unassisted. The second solution is more elegant, but I have no personal experience with those transformers. Power rating would be an important consideration, of course. It is my understanding that they provide on the order of 20 dB of isolation, which should be more than adequate to protect the two radios. Good luck. Chuck Tamaroak wrote: Two horns would be ugly.
