That is what you get for listening to a "knowledgable" Radio Shack guy! They are not always the brightest of people. You do need powered speakers. Each speaker has a built in amp. I'll see if I can locate a source.

I am also a member of the Riviera list, similar in concept to the IML. A member of that list sent this request concerning Infinity speakers from an early '90s Imperial. I know nothing about this system, but thought I'd do the guy a favor by forwarding it to the IML in case someone here can answer the question.
<Anybody out there familiar with the Chrysler Infinity systems on a '92 Imperial? One of my speakers has gone bad--I verified by swapping it side to side. The crackling changed sides.
>I want to replace these door speakers--they have four leads: black, red, grey and green. I found some 5 X 7, 4 ohms, 75 watt speakers at Radio Shack. The RS clerk told me to hook up the grey and green wires, that the others were for a hot wire and ground and these speakers didn't need them.
>I took out the old speakers and installed one of the new ones, as the clerk said. Now only my rear speakers work (it's a 6-speaker system. Can anyone give me some advice? Will I need to use powered speakers?
Thanks for giving this guy some guidance.
