I picked up this set of powered PC speakers, no name brand, power cord to one of the speakers, and two audio cables coming out of it, one going to the other speaker, and the other to a 3.5mm jack for plugging into an audio out source.
So, a typical cheap powered PC speakers setup.
Now, the sound is pretty decent, I must admit, from the 4 ohm, 3W speaker, but I say "speaker", because it's just coming out of one of the speakers, and not the one with the power cord coming out of it. The other speaker is ok, it's just the electronics going to it has probably a fried component or two. I did remove the wire from the speaker, and moved it to the working speakers circuit, and it does work ok.
Anyway, what I would like to do is remove one of the speakers, and wire it up so that the left and right channels come out of one speaker, so what's the best way to do this? I was thinking of getting a mono 3.5 jack and cable, wiring it up to the channel circuit side that still works (dunno if it's left or right, just that it's the one that the speaker without the power cord going to it), and then wire the other speaker to the working channel circuit.
Will that give me both left and right channels from the one remaining speaker? Is there anything I need to be careful of? Or is there a better way to do this with what's available?
I don't feel like trying to fix the broken channel circuit, and only want one speaker, but with both left and right channels coming from one speaker.
