Hi JWD
You want to match a 5,900 ohm impedance to a 1.25 ohm voice coil.
The 125D is a good choice as it can handle 10 watts of audio, which is what the 116B is rated at.
But you will want to use terminals 1 and 3 for your speaker voice coil.
This setup matches a primary impedance of 5,400 ohms to a 1.5 ohm voice coil, close enough for gubmint work.
Terminals 4 and 5 are meant for a 10K load to a 1.5 ohm voice coil, which would cause a more serious mismatch = loss of volume.
