DIY Question: t-amp to single driver - Page 2

pjanda1 · 25th February 2010, 11:53 PM

I got ya'. Somehow the stereo/mono issue didn't even occur to me. I'm a little loopy while I recover from a good hard run. I'll be better after this coffee. I don't know that you will find a single stereo>mono adapter. You could use a combination of Y-adapters, first a 1/8" / 3.5mm (not 1/4", btw, you are looking for "mini plugs" with your Ipod) to either two RCA's or mono 1/8", then maybe you could find a splitter that would combine the two RCA's or mono 1/8" into a single mono 1/8". Personally, I'd just put a 1/8" (3.5mm) stereo jack on your enclosure, and use a regular ol' 1/8" stereo cable. Then, sum the channels in the enclosure when you connect it to the amp. If you are using the pre-existing T-amp enclosure, it would be quick work to open up the case and connect the L&R (tip and ring) segments of the jack. Either way, it is cheaper than buying an adapter, and less of a PITA.
