[QUOTE=68GMCCustom;2841625]the speakers won't have anything to do with playing "all the tracks or not"...that's actually up to the head unit. They can however effect the range of sound you hear based on their construction. And yes, I think something like this is what you're looking for....or at least as compared to the type with one big woofer and 2 individual tweeters.

Thanks again 68GMCCustom...
I spoke with Electro-Tech (very helpful and friendly) and purchased an 8 ohm Dual Cone Speaker that will mount directly in the front dash. With this speaker I will be able to play both the 8 Track and AM-FM radio. I may connect the radio to a single speaker verses both of them because I am not sure the factory radio can push two speakers. The speaker I'm using is the last speaker shown on the page. Again this site is worth the $25 membership fees. Thanks again.
