Hello! This is my first post on here. I tried to check if this exact topic was covered but I couldn't find a full answer yet.
I am building a portable sound system out of stuff I find second hand or recycled stuff. I put the schematic of the whole circuit that I intend to build. (see picture)
In between my receiver (Kentinger hy-502s) and the amplifier (Sony XM-GTX6040) I want to place this old equalizer I found from the 80's or 90's. (shown in the stock picture).
Contrary to stock picture, the EQ only has four input wires (no second black):
> Red (+) for 12V power
> Black (-) for ground
> Left (L)
> Right (R)
The receiver has a standard 12V plug and two output channels with each a (+) and a (-) as it could directly connect to speakers.
Can I take each L/R hot wire (+) coming out of the receiver and connect it with the respective L/R input wire of the EQ and just ground the negative terminals on the receiver side? (marked in the picture with a yellow "?").
Or is this a case where I need to do stereo to mono with 1k resistors?
I also added a picture of the receivers output and the main amplifier in case someone tries to make a sanity check on the schematics.
Thank you in advance! 🙂
