I have an external speaker hooked up to the remote head of my Kenwood TK-730 G I have the volume turned up all of the way and I can barely hear the audio. I have all of the wires hooked up like their supposed to be. What am I doing wrong? Thanks
 
Make sure the speaker is plugged in good. Did you splice the speaker wires at any point? If you did check that.
 
If it is similar to the Kenwood 790, one form of the control head (with eight character read-out) requires a power jumper among the pins to increase audio output to an external speaker, whereas the more familiar fourteen-character control head only uses an external speaker. With an internal speaker and basic control head, two different audio outputs can be selected. (Without the install manual for reference, I seem to recall there is a ten watt difference. The internal speaker is four watts audio output, and the external speaker, fourteen watts.)
