I'm using a pair of DPDT Relays and a SPDT on/off/on switch to make a speaker switch for the car stereo on my boat so that I get 8 Ohms when in parallel and then it removes one set of speakers so I get 4 Ohm. My deck can handle this.
When I wire it up, the switch has no effect. All of the speakers stay on all the time with the switch in any position. I can see the relay close and the indicator on the relay lights up when I use the switch.
When I remove the switch from the circuit and manually jump a relay the speakers on that relay are disconnected as expected.
Here's a schematic
Any ideas as to why this is behaving like this?
Thanks,
