Maxtrac 16 pin external/internal speaker.

Is there a way to run the internal and external speakers at the same time without damaging the radio? I know pins 1-16 are external and 15-16 are for internal. Can I add a jumper wire to 15-16 on the connector to activate both speakers?
Thanks in advance.

Years ago, when I was playing with Maxtracs, I tried using the internal, & external speaker at the same time. The radio didn't seem happy, & the audio seemed poor, compared to just 1 speaker at a time. Fast forward 20 years, & I'm using a XPR4550 as a base. Guess what. When I plug in the external speaker, the internal speaker does not disconnect. Rx audio sounds fine, & I'm told this is normal. GARY
