RCA Splitters

Rizon · 22nd October 2006, 03:25 AM

I have an older stereo system (Optimus System 721) that still uses RCA plugs for speakers.

I've been thinking of purchasing another set of speakers (and modifying them to use RCA jacks) to use with it. I would like two left speakers and two right speakers, so I will have to use a splitter.

I've found two of them at RadioShack, and I'm wondering which one will give the best performance? Cost is not an issue, as they're both under $10.

Alternatively, if anyone knows any better splitters for under $20, please feel free to post them.

Hi,
can your older amplifier drive low impedance loads?

Check if two parallel speakers can be driven safely from the old output stage?
