Hello,
I'm going to build a box to switch the outputs of my 5.1 amp between two sets of 5 satellites.
I will probably use on-on dpdt switches.
Do I have to switch negative current? Which is not ground for speakers right? Or can I simply wire the negatives together for each pair of speakers (they can't and won't be on together).
Here's a sketch to illustrate that with a spdt switch, the final build will be the same idea but with 3 dpdt switches (6 poles, 5 used).

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.
